Relevant sections of the FHS:
4.4 /usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-4.4.html>
4.7 /usr/share : Architecture-independent data
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-4.7.html>
However, there's no such thing as '/usr/share/lib'. Where should such
shell script libraries go?
