Hi,

In the Linux world, libexec is an optional directory in the File System
Hierarchy standard:
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s07.html

lib can also be used for the same purpose:
http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s06.html

Debian and derivates only uses lib. I believe Red Hat et al. use libexec.

So it's purely a matter of personal choice and project policy.

I personally don't like libexec much. Unless the project decides on one
over the other, I'd tend to use whatever upstream uses for each port.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
