Well, this is experimental and Ubuntu, so I am not well educated.

All I can say is each distribution has focus.

* Debian to impliment multi-arch
* Fedora uses /libexec and moves /bin to /usr/bin

So if you repackage a package, we need to make proper adjustment to
autotool parameters while building a package.  

/libexec -> /lib/<packagename>/

Is one I need tio do all the time...
