Hello

I do not really see a problem here. All gnustep packages store
files in a (at least sort of) FHS compliant directory:
/usr/lib/GNUstep

It is not very different from perl, python, emacs, java (and more) packages
that have a "filesystem" of it's own and managed there.
Java have its in /usr/share/java (java is "cross platform") and
other package have similar things.

The only thing that can be argued is that the name maybe should be
without capital letters, but I do not think that is very important.

So I actually can not see that it break FHS, even if it do not
make full use of it.

Regards,

// Ola
