The helpers issue is not that clear, Matthieu Bridon pointed this:
"/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not
intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. [22]" 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLIBRARIESFORPROGRAMMINGANDPA

Some packages like systemd put helpers scripts in /usr/lib, some like dracut
put them in /usr/share. Since FHS explicitely allows helpers scripts in
/usr/lib but doesn't forbid putting them in /usr/share.
%{_libexecdir} is also a strong option according Fedora Packaging Guidelines
for helpers scripts. Since it's not recommended by FHS, it's almost certain
that it won't be upstream-able

I requested my fellow packagers opinions on that matter on devel mailing list.
