Why is plasma-framework using /usr/share/kde5?

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi,

I'm wondering why Plasma Framework installs it's .desktop files to 
/usr/share/kde5 by default? It causes some confusion for packagers:

No other framework is using a namespace in /usr/share, they all install into 
/usr/share/$FrameworkName. So why does Plasma framework? And if it has to use  
namespace (but please explain me why), then it should be /usr/share/kf5, not 
/usr/share/kde5, same as we have /usr/include/KF5 and not /usr/include/KDE5.

Couldn't the Plasma framework just install the .desktop files into 
/usr/share/plasma/services and /usr/share/plasma/servicetypes? It's already 
populated by Plasma-related files from other frameworks anyway...

I think that this is something that should be fixed before final release, so 
that all frameworks are consistent here.
