The only reason we don't have it is because of petty bickering and
politics between the FHS folks (several years ago). There were few
technical objections to it on the FHS list, but it was dropped for
non-technical reasons. Given that the FHS is supposed to codify
existing practice, it should be in there on that count alone. Every
libexec-using package in Debian has been reconfigured not to use it;
upstreams do use it, and I'd like to use it myself.
I'd personally be very glad to have it, and would support using it in
Debian.
Regards,
Roger
