Exactly this does not conform to the FHS iirc. |

Which means e.g. kde's docs should go in /usr/share/doc/kde. Since we want to |
| 16 |
allow multiple kde versions, it would need to be |
| 17 |
either /usr/share/doc/kde/X.Y or /usr/share/doc/kdeX.Y. We do the latter for |
| 18 |
most ebuilds, since it is - in case of docs at least - policy to install them |
| 19 |
in ${D}/usr/share/docs/${PF} |

/usr/packages/whatever is as FHS "conform" as /usr/kde. |

From my point of view the kde location is not a big and if we want to change |
| 30 |
something, let's do it with qt/kde 4. |
