The issue here is not _what_ certain directories contain, but _how_ the
contents of those directories are maintained, and the FHS has nothing to say
about that. In most distributions, /usr/lib will be one of the directories
maintained by the system's software packaging mechanism (zypper, rug, dpkg, or
whatever). You would be well advised not to put files willy-nilly into it. I
can expand on this if anyone who doesn't already know is interested.

Whenever someone finds themselves wanting to put a file in a directory like
/usr/bin, /usr/lib, /sbin etc., there will almost always be a better way, as
indeed this thread has shown.

Regards,
Peter.
