That looks consistent.

If a service daemon is intended to be started by dbus daemon only, it has 
nothing to do in $PATH, thus FHS-compliant location is under 
/usr/lib/pkgname/

If a service daemon could be started manually sometimes, then /usr/sbin

Anyway not /usr/bin because daemons are not started by "normal user".

In our case, /usr/sbin looks to be the best location, because starting from 
dbus leads to timeouts. So manual start cound be better - perhaps 
from /etc/init.d/frameworkd? or from an individual init.d script? maybe 
controlled by a flag under /etc/defauts/?

Already uploaded :)

Ok
