Ahh, yes, FHS. We're aiming that direction, now, aren't we? :)
What it does say, at the beginning of section 4, is:
No large software packages should use a direct subdirectory under the
/usr hierarchy. An exception is made for the X Window System because of
considerable precedent and widely-accepted practice. This section of
the standard specifies the location for most such packages.
In that case, FHS doesn't say anything about Berlin, and we're trying to be
FHS compliant.

Did you hear about the blonde dingo who got caught in a trap?
It chewed off three of it's legs and was still stuck.
