Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 We have been discussing several possibilities in the thread on the mailing
 list.

 Replying to [comment:13 vinc17@…]:
 > IMHO, this choice would not be a good idea, because
 {{{${prefix}/libexec}}} and its subdirectories shouldn't be in the user's
 path.
 Why would this be a problem?

 > Also this wouldn't solve the problem of man pages. How about
 {{{${prefix}/gnu/bin}}} and {{{${prefix}/gnu/share/man}}} for the binaries
 and the man pages respectively?
 We discussed this possibility. I think it's ok with me. It has the
 possible disadvantage of violating the mtree.
