indeed, the FHS was wrong not to include it in the first place. glad to hear the libexec folks eventually won.

We used to don't like libexec because FHS used to forbid it, but since then FHS allows it, and slowly we started to dislike it a tad less.
There are a lot of maintainers who still moves files out of /usr/libexec to /usr/lib or /usr/bin, but nobody yells to people who keep stuff in /usr/libexec anymore :)

Overall, your choice, really.

well, it's not a "grief" :)
We have plenty of binaries without manapges, we can live with them, it's just that we try to do some effort to have them.

No, moving it to /usr/libexec would totally be fine by me (and indeed it probably makes sense)

oh that's right, iirc debian doesn't like libexec very much.

a man page has been created.

hmm, it really belongs in libexec because it's a program only called by other programs.

if i change it to libexec, does it still cause debian grief?

There are manpages for licensing(1), lu-sh(1) and notice(1).
lu-comment-extractor is the only one lacking one :)
