DS> The Debian Policy [2] has two places in which it says something DS> about /usr/share/: sections 8.2 (Shared library support files) and DS> 10.7.3 (Configuration Files > Behavior). However, according to DS> Mikhail both sections are not applicable, either because there are DS> currently no shared packages or because `publican' has no DS> ./configure. [Correct me if I'm wrong, Mikhail.] Let me elaborate a bit. Publican is pure-Perl application with arch-indep data stored under /usr/share/Publican. 8.2 talks about shared library support files, and recommends using /usr/share/<pkgname> in order to avoid conflicts between libfooN and libfooM. 10.7.3 talks about `package-configure' auxiliary files for maintainer scripts, Publican does not use such thing. 10.7.3 refers to /usr/share/<package> and /usr/lib/<package>, though there is no requirement to use such directories, so I'd change it to say `arch-indep or arch-dep directories used by package'. -- http://fossarchy.blogspot.com/
