Nicolas, this might show my naivite, but where should programs that aren't intended to be run by users go? I recall working on some old archaic and PITA SCO systems that quite a few useful programs end up in a lib directory, but then they also put important system binaries in /etc, and they have symlinks littering the whole tree, so that one could mount specific bits read only over the network... ?
