Well I was told that eventually all libs will end up to be in /usr/lib. So that
was the reason why I changed libnl3 files to be there. Dan Horak told me that
as well. Anyway, if you have strong feeling about them being in /lib, please
move them there.

Well in debian for example they fragment this even more. They have separate
package for nf, route, cli, utils as well. But I think that the partitioning I
proposed is good enough.
