Ahem, this is something debian developers have been wrestling over

                                       ABSTRACT

                 This standard consists of a set of requirements and
            guidelines for file and directory placement under UNIX-like
            operating systems.  The guidelines are intended to support
            interoperability of applications, system administration tools,
            development tools, and scripts as well as greater uniformity
            of documentation for these systems.

Please see debian policy documents to see how it is used in debian.
Just go to www.debian.org ;)
