Nope, this is up to the package builders.

So for the RPMs, the appropriate person at Red Hat decides where
everything goes.


I don't think Gnome should specify where exactly things should be put.
We should just continue what we are already doing: use configure and
let the builder decide.

I'm curious to know how.
