   I apologize for bad wording (english isn't my native language),
   what I meant to say is don't start cluttering /usr/share before
   it has been agreed upon.

   A lot of the stuff that's traditionally located in the /usr/lib
   subtree is architecture independent and should be moved under
   /usr/share.

I agree completely.  We should move everything at once.  If we don't,
we'll start looking like Slackware. ;)  (I remember chuckling when I
learned that Slackware included a /usr/share with one file in it...)

Don't get me wrong--I'm all for /usr/share, but I agree with Bernd.
This should be fixed until we move everything to /usr/share, which
will be when the FSSTND tells us to.

Just a warning, /usr/share will almost certainly be a part of the next
edition of the FSSTND, although it may not be required for some/all
cases.

We'll be issuing an extensive recommendation for upgrading to
conformance with the next edition some time before it is actually
released.

As far as this case goes, the skeletons are only referred to by Bison,
so *cough* *mumble*.

/usr/share is "certainly" a better place.  The Bison parser skeletons
are architechure-independent.

In my understanding of the FSSTND 1.2 /usr/share is off-limits as of yet,
cf sections 4.11 and 6.3

bora:~$ dpkg --listfiles bison | grep /usr/share
/usr/share
/usr/share/bison.simple
/usr/share/bison.hairy

In any case the directory /usr/share is certainly the wrong place for the
files.
