This particular kind of FHS violation (arch-indep code in arch-dep directory) is not generally RC, because there are no significant functional problems as a result of mis-identifying files as arch-dependent that aren't. Also, /usr/lib/foo is overloaded in the FHS with "internal commands to be invoked by foo", which means this is the /right/ place for any arch-independent helper /executables/... So moving these files into /usr/share is unequivocally the right thing under the FHS, but splitting this fine of a hair is not RC.
