/lib/rcscripts or /$(get_libdir)/rcscripts?

I just realized that there not only doesn't seem to be any consensus
about what the location of /lib/rcscripts should be (as witnessed by
the location where the following packages install

lib64/rcscripts sys-apps/baselayout-1.13.0_alpha12
lib64/rcscripts sys-apps/gawk-3.1.5-r3
lib64/rcscripts sys-fs/mdadm-2.6.1
lib/rcscripts sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.12
lib/rcscripts sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.17
lib/rcscripts sys-fs/udev-107

) but even baselayout itself is not consistent in its decision (bug #172370).

Since this problem encompasses multiple packages (I only stumbled upon
the six above, but there well may be others), I thought I'd bring it
to your attention here.

it should be /$(get_libdir)/rcscripts

no one has really noticed/cared because lib has always been a symlink to lib64

perhaps we should write a new func ... `dorcaddon` ...

The baselayout bits will be solved by baselayout-2. ebuilds that want
to put stuff in /lib/rcscripts should of course be doing $(get_libdir)

Same problem with udev-helper programs:
Should they be in /lib/udev or in /$(get_libdir)/udev

That immediately looks like "dork addon" to me.
