Well, sort of, but it doesn't always work out that way in practise.
Witness Perl and Python, for example, which should both put
arch-independent modules in datadir but put them in /usr/lib instead.
Which leads to the fun situation where you can get it wrong and have
the package work on i386 but fail to build on x86_64.
Still, those languages have their own macros which give you the right
thing. We don't have anything in general, and I agree that we
shouldn't really encourage it. When really necessary, I've always
recommended just using %{_prefix}/lib to make it really obvious.
