Dear LibreOffice folks,


Following up on bug report #100724 [1], I have two question about the location of some files.

First, the license and README files.

```
/usr/lib/libreoffice/NOTICE
/usr/lib/libreoffice/LICENSE.html
/usr/lib/libreoffice/LICENSE.fodt
/usr/lib/libreoffice/LICENSE
/usr/lib/libreoffice/CREDITS.fodt
/usr/lib/libreoffice/readmes
/usr/lib/libreoffice/readmes/README_en-US
/usr/lib/libreoffice/readmes/README_de
```

Shouldn’t those be put under `/usr/share/doc/libreoffice/`?

Second, I wonder why the “real” binaries are put under `/usr/lib` and not `/usr/bin/`? `/usr/lib/libreoffice/program` is normally not in a path.

```
$ ls -l /usr/bin/libreoffice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 36 Sep 4 12:55 /usr/bin/libreoffice -> /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/

The FHS Wikipedia article describes `/usr/lib` as below [2].

> /usr/lib – libraries for the binaries in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/.


Kind regards,
