My understanding of the purpose of libexec is that this is fine for
internal binaries, but not for binaries which are expected to be run
by the end user.  However, I don't think libexec is mentioned by FHS
so I guess its up to us (FPC) to make a decision.

The only example that comes to mind of something that has a
non-standard location for binaries is kerberos (/usr/kerberos/bin) but
that seems to be more of a historical thing.  What other options are
there?  Something under /usr/lib?  Does multilib come into this
decision at all?
