I recommend instead of having bicon and abicon, having bicon.bin and bicon respectively. I think that would help settle the confusion (and have seen it done by various other projects). I personally am not a big fan of the 'abicon' -- it certainly threw me off. Also, as far as the keymaps installing in places where specific distro's dictate -- let me tell ya, it will be a nightmare. I know, I had to deal with that with Akka. My recommendation is to leave that up to package creators.. or have the script 'detect/ask' what distro it is and selectively install based on that. Otherwise, every other distro seems to think different locations are more suitable for keymaps.
