I doubt you have packages in /usr/lib*, there should only be files, links and directories. Packages may install these files, links, and directories.
The default on packages coming with config would have been /usr/lib.
That's 1300 packages that had a have a special patch applied (75% of total).
Seems like not having to go out of one's way to patch away from what is the 'normal expected path', would be more than aesthetics....
FWIW, with opensuse, the 'fhs' package is an optional install.
There is no requirement that openSuSE without fhs installed be FHS compatible, is there?
FHS compliance is a check that is part of rpmlint that runs in OBS when a package is built. Whether the fhs package is installed or not is irrelevant for FHS compliance.
Or is openSUSE FHS compatible without the FHS package installed?
