There is no real standard regarding libexecdir. It is defined in the GNU
coding standard
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html

And that isn't very precise. My POV is that the wrong place was choosen for
the plugins. They should either have used arch specific dirs below
$(libexecdir)/@PACKAGE@ or (which is easier) used $(libdir)/@PACKAGE@.

All in all this is a discussion that should happen upstream since it's up to
the upstream project to decide about the correct place in the presence of
biarch platforms.
