True, but you in etther case have distro-specific things to do
(caring about FHS when others don't, system-libs wherever possible) or stuff
caused by security other other infrastructure/quality concerns (see Mozilla
Adressbook - yes, that feature is unimportant but the best example here -
which is disabled in most distributions but afaik not in "vanilla"
LibreOffice).
