Hi,


By default a Gnu/Linux program compiled and installed by user example: 
(Qmake, make, sudo make install) install these files in /usr/local/ and 
sometimes in /opt directories. 
And you want that upstream program install by defaut in /usr/share/ ... no, 
no, is a heresy, this directory is reserved to mainstream distribution!

the mainstream job is to patching source program in following to the 
guidelines of its distribution and other.... not the upstream job!
