Thank you for the bug report and the patch.

For the record, the other munin binary packages also install programs
in what they consider is LIBDIR, that is /usr/share/munin. So, I'm
unsure fixing this only for munin-asyncd would be worth it.

What specific part of the FHS do you think the current location
violates?

Do we consider munin-asyncd is intended to be run directly by the
user? If we don't, after a very quick look at the FHS (which is,
arguably, quite unclear on this specific topic), it seems to me
/usr/share/munin is indeed the right place to put
architecture-independent programs that are not intended to be run
directly by the user:

  /usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries
  that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell
  scripts. [22]

  [22] Miscellaneous architecture-independent application-specific
       static files and subdirectories must be placed in /usr/share.

Removing the "patch" tag, and adding the "moreinfo" one, until it's
made clear first that there actually is something in need to be fixed,
and second that the proposed fix is good.

Cheers,
