What "library default"?

11.8.7. Installation directory issues
-------------------------------------

     Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install
     files under the /usr/X11R6/' directory unless they use     make'.  The
     /usr/X11R6/' directory hierarchy should be regarded as deprecated for
     all packages except the X Window System itself, and those which use
     the        make' program it provides, in which case the packages may
     transition out of the /usr/X11R6/' directory at the maintainer's
     discretion.[1]
