from the FHS: /usr | [...] +-share Architecture-independent data This means, that /usr/share can be shared among architectures (Debian GNU/Linux), where /usr/bin/... is shared among machines with the same architecture (i.e. Debian GNU/Linux on i386 NFS mount /usr/i386/bin, Debian GNU/Linux on Sparc mount /usr/sparc/bin, where as all mount /usr/share on /usr/share).
