After talking with some of the people that actually know something
about kexts, I'm completely wrong here.  kexts can be loaded from
anywhere.  They only need to be in /S/L/E if they are going to be
"hot plugged", or automatically loaded when a device is inserted
or some such.  If this is not the case, it is recommended that
kexts NOT be placed in /S/L/E.  A case in point is the filesystem
kexts.  These are in /S/L/CoreServices/...

If that is the case, I don't see why we need to define a new place for them. Just use %p/lib/<package> This keeps the directory structure simple and conforming with FHS.
