It's unclear to me: is mate-common based on some upstream tarball, or
does it just contain some openSUSE specific bits?

If you're looking for a downstream-only solution: any reason to not do
it exactly the way it's done for gconf?

If you're looking for an upstreamable solution: I'd think the directory
where to put schema files could be a variable in the mateconf pkg-config
file, and then all modules would use that variable.

Cheers,

Vincent
