Hello, I am happy to see this. I tend to agree that /usr/share/cwl sounds like the right place for everything coming through upstream.
To accomodate for local user (or Debian package maintainer) additions, I suggest to also allow for /etc/cwl.d/ . Some /etc/cwl.conf may have an option to support any additional set of folders.
