It was in Ola Lundqvist's reply to Eric's message on -policy:

|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.

I am happy with this answer ;-)
