    Yes, that is the convention. The packages always install all the data
into standard place. If some OS installs data by own non-standard path
then maintainers handle that themselves. Package should provide a way to
allow such customization though, and that part is done in both menu-cache
and libfm.

    Thank you very much.

    Yes, I've documented that on the Wiki page. Thank you.
