Follow-up Comment #3, sr #110212 (project autoconf):
> Such a change first needs to be incorporated into the GNU Coding Standards.
Does it? The relevant paragraph (from the July 1, 2021 version), says:
> The definition of ‘datadir’ is the same for all packages, so you should
install your data in a subdirectory thereof. Most packages install their data
under $(datadir)/package-name/.
To me, "Most packages install..." reads more like a recommendation than a firm
requirement -- and at that, an even weaker recommendation than the "should
install" in the first sentence.
Under that reading, modifying the ${datadir} subdirectory's name would _not_
be a violation of the standard as it's currently written.
