I think the choice is between the two extremes of keeping the status quo and of changing all non-FHS locations, or some intermediate solution. 1. Keep status quo: /usr/games/bin games binaries /usr/games/lib* games libraries /usr/share/games static games data /etc/games games configuration /var/games variable game data /var/log/games games logs 2. Change all locations that are not conforming to FHS 3.0: /usr/bin games binaries Rationale: The FHS has /usr/games as an optional directory for binaries, but we cannot use it because it is blocked by the current directory layout with /usr/games/{bin,lib*}. /usr/lib* games libraries /usr/share static games data Rationale: The FHS also allows an optional /usr/share/games but its description says "Static data files for /usr/games". So if the binaries are installed in /usr/bin then (as I read it) the data should go to /usr/share (i.e., to /usr/share/${PN} really). /etc games configuration /var/games variable game data Rationale: FHS section 5.7.: "Any variable data relating to games in /usr should be placed here." This could also be used for logs previously placed in /var/log/games, when for some reason they cannot got to /var/log (but AFAICS it would affect only two packages in the tree).
