 "On the Fedora distribution we have succeeded to clean up the situation
  and the confusion the current split between / and /usr has created. We
  have moved all tools that over time have been moved to / back to /usr
  (where they belong), and the root file system only contains compatibility
  symlinks for /bin and /sbin into /usr. All binaries of the system are
  exclusively located within the /usr hierarchy. "

So from that it makes sense that we use /usr/lib as the canonical
path location. So ACK to your patch
