I want to keep it clear that _my_ proposal is to make this narrower, to match the packaging guidelines. The guidelines say that packages SHOULD NOT use paths outside of /usr/bin|/usr/sbin|/etc, so any other paths that we put in primary just make things less efficient. And as mentioned previously, adding libs would blow up the number of paths in primary, even though they are not useful because we have a dependency generator. Making this configurable is probably easier than discussing the "correct" path endlessly. Then the setting for Fedora can easily be made to match the guidelines. What other distros do will be up to them.
