I just called it GNU FHS to distinguish it from the LF/LSB FHS. Autotools for example defaults to libexecdir = ${prefix}/libexec sharedstatedir = ${prefix}/com and the LSB FHS (or its interpretations in distros) used or do use libexecdir = /usr/lib (old FHS 2.3) sharedstatedir = /var/lib So there must have been some plan within GNU project(s) when directory locations were chosen, manpage dirs included :^)
