One question I have on this:  That location is not always but almost
always due to imake, not due to any conscious decision by the package.  If
the packages are rebuilt with the latest X.org 7 imake, will that imake
default to the new, correct FHS paths?  I realize that doesn't mean one
can just binNMU since generally packaging files will also have to be
updated, but it would make the transition a lot easier.
