I remember having that discussion with David at some point, if I manage to 
retranscribe the conclusion properly, it was something along the lines of:
 * If that's where we install parts of the frameworks or runtime dependencies 
of frameworks it should say kf5;
 * If that's where we install application parts or metadata it should say 
kde5.

So in your example above the use of kf5 vs kde5 doesn't bother me much except 
for probably libexec which is likely about runtime dependencies of frameworks.

Regards.
