Nah.  /usr/libexec is a good place to store system-wide helper binaries
without having to worry about the patch changing due to multilib; remember
systemd has had to receive an explicit exception[1] for its scheme of
storing everything-in /usr/lib/systemd as if it were /opt/systemd, with
many of the files located there violating the intent of FHS.
