I was simply trying to clarify that Swen's description was not an 
opinion, but a fact of how things are. It's important in discussions to 
distinguish those two things.

As Marco said, you are complaining to the wrong people. We are not the 
ones that say that things should be done like this. It's the operating 
system packagers/maintainers that do so. Not following operating system 
conventions makes things harder in the long run, not easier. And it 
makes it harder to integrate seamlessly with other tool chains and work 
flows on such platforms. It also breaks expectations of long-time users 
of those platforms (since they know how things are supposed to work on 
their platform).
