Per my reading of the FHS (but this is ultimately up to FPC), binaries
that "other things" refer to belong strictly in /usr/bin and nowhere
in /usr/lib*, so the more complex case should never arise.  What is
the left is the simpler case of relocating files within a package,
something that happens quite frequently for other reasons as well.
