Well, it triggered me because saying it's deprecated implies two things=20
for me:

1) It was OK for packages to do that in the past

2) Something has changed upstream

Regarding 1)
It was never OK for packages to install in that location. That will=20
break the override mechanism systemd introduced. I.e. packages were and=20
are still only allowed to install below /usr (/lib), to allow local=20
system administrators to override installed unit/tmpfiles spec by=20
placing a file with the same name in the corresponding directory in /etc.=



Regarding 2)
Nothing has changed upstream regarding these locations.


I personally hope that this QA check will never fire in hope we never=20
added an ebuild doing something like that but in the end, that's the=20
idea of having such a check: To notice something like that, just in case =
;-)
