Here's the debian policy manual:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/index.html

And yes, quite an important part of it is where to place files. This basically
follows the FHS, the file hierarchy standard. And well, that applications from
packages install themselved into /opt or /usr/local is prohibited.

But the policy does far from only consist of placing files in the right places.

In any case, yes, environment variables (EUDIR and EUINC) will have to be
provided. And this might be a problem. I solved this in my packages version of
2.5 so that exu was a bash script that first set the env vars correctly and then
called the real exu binary.
