I wonder if anything significant has changed since the August 1987 (!)
draft pertaining to bills of materials.
I note that at that time the BOM files resided in /usr/lib, and
the structure seemed limited to vendor-provided utilities, not
"layered products" or third-part products. And I note that the
System V "install" procedures seem directed toward vendor-provided
utilities.
Has any consideration been taken of the large (indeed, **very** large)
number of third-party products that one would normally install using
a common mechnaism, but in a non-system directory hierarchy.
