as Ralf says, it depends on the role that the files play.
I think Debian is wrong to put the things they do into /var/lib. If the
files aren't modified after package installation, then they go into
/usr/share (If they are modified, then they are correct to put them into
/var/lib). However, Debian does put a lot of files into /usr/bin/ and
/usr/sbin/. Those file locations look more or less correct to me. One
thing to watch out for with regard to programs is that debian doesn't have
a spot for internal programs and libraries (usually they use
/usr/lib/PACKAGE/internal-program for those but not always) -- we do have
a spot: /usr/libexec/PACKAGE.
