$libexecdir is meant to take a suite's/package's
"internal/sub-programs/executables/scripts" (typically with executable

to be in $PATH.
$libdir/<subdir>/ (e.g. %libdir/<package>) is the playground a package
can install more or less whatever it wants, comprising executables.
As your "scripts" don't seem to be "programs", $libdir/<subdir> probably
is what you are looking for.

Storing script fragments or scripts in $libdir would be unusual and
discussworthy, but installing these to $libdir/<packages>/ is quite common.
