5 I've never seen the point of it. The kde directories include things under
6 share/, like various docs, that make absolutely no sense somewhere
7 under /usr/lib. And FHS forbids putting them there at least as much as it
8 forbids creating a /usr/kde. I think that if we have to move,
9 a /usr/packages/{kde,qt}/<version> pattern is best. ('patterns' apparently
10 being replaced by a four-letter name - could someone enlighten me why that
11 would be necessary?)
