And from the lenny RC policy [1] (which I was kindly pointed at by pusling)
section 5c
5. General
(c) File hierarchy
Packages must place all files in the locations specified by the
FHS, with the clarification that architecture-independent
supporting code may be stored in a subdirectory of /usr/lib
instead of in a subdirectory of /usr/share.
Any subdirectories created in the /usr/local hierarchy must be
created and removed with mkdir and rmdir in postinst and prerm;
and the scripts must not fail if those commands fail. Packages
must not rely on the presence or absence of any files or
directories under /usr/local.
