Well, there's FHS, which we don't follow because it is severely broken
in various places. Or we could create our own "Standardised Linux
Platform" specification and try to persuade the other distributions to
sign up for it. Of course, we'd mandate portage as the package manager.
Thing is, it really isn't a problem. Data files go in $(datadir),
configuration files go in $(sysconfdir) and so on, and the build system
handles the rest. It doesn't matter what $(datadir) is actually defined
to be (unless your code really really sucks).
