Sadly there is not much we can do it. If the infrastructure doesn't add
it for the sake of some dependencies with builtin magic, many programs
will do so to be helpful. The design breakage is actually with the GNU
folks when they decided to add another system location, but didn't
handle it like /usr/lib. /usr/lib is special as it will practically be
dropped.
