Wow, a small issue is becoming a hot topic here. :)
My fault: I misunderstood the intent here. I thought we wanted to move ALL the proto files to abs, and I ran with it. But yes, obviously it makes sense to keep the BASE set of them in pacman. Call me a fool. I have a quick, unrelated comment, though.
I doubt the FHS looks highly upon mucking with the /usr/share/ directory of another program, so these should probably *not* be in /usr/share/pacman/.
Actually, the only thing the FHS mentions is "if you're putting data in /usr/share, use a subdir, please. Here's some good ideas" It's fairly common to "muck with" directories in this manner. Take, for instance /usr/share/terminfo, /usr/share/mime-info, /usr/share/applications, /usr/share/icons, etc etc.
