Looks like Ubuntu compiles their packages with --libexecdir=/usr/lib,
though at the moment I cannot see where they set this.

Note the location in my .service file does match where the executable
has been installed to. Remember also that tracker-miner-fs seems to be
able to start tracker-store okay (presumably via
dbus /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Tracker1.service, which
points to /usr/lib/tracker/tracker-store), so I think the packages are
built consistently.
