No. /usr/bin is not supposed to carry subdirs.

Depending on what these files actually are (I don't know anything about 
this package), installing them to %{_libexecdir} or %{libdir}/package 
might be advisable.

IMHO, %{_libexecdir}/salome/ is the best place.

Absolutly - The %{_libexecdir} above was an oversight on my part. Sorry 
for the confusion.

If I recall correctly, it is (kind of) salome solution to avoid name clashes.

  I believe a symbolic link should be acceptable. Actually creating a subdir
would probably have a lot of opposition, but it should be possible to
reconfigure salome to use %_libexecdir/salome or %_libdir/salome

Yeah reconfiguring is not an issue, and if the symlink solution is 
accepted I'd be happy. I'd just prefer not to break the install 
hierarchy too much so that various documentation and stuff on the net 
also applies to Fedora as far as possible.

nod  Probably %{_libdir}/salome/REAL_FILES  and
%{_bindir}/SYMLINKS_TO_REAL_FILES.  If there is a concern that salome's
files will conflict with other things in %{_bindir} the symlinks probably
need to have a prefix like salome-SYMLINK.
