i would hope the blender executable is in usr/bin/blender/2.52 so that we can have multiple versions of blender installed (2.49, 2.52, svn)

So the proposal is to have a /usr/bin/datafiles folder for the system data files? If so, I don't think that's a good idea, for Unix anyway. You don't expect to find any data in /usr/bin.
