According to the FHS (version 2.3)[1]:

-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages

Purpose

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

Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an
application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data
exclusively used by the application must be placed within that subdirectory.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd be happy to consider this a FHS violation if you can point out to me
where it says that /usr/lib is for arch-dependent files only. From what
I can tell from the above, /usr/lib includes "internal binaries that are
not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts", of
which all of /usr/lib/backupninja/* applies. I searched through the FHS,
but couldn't find anything specific about arch-dependencies... but I
might have missed something, if so, please point it out.
