Each package manager has its own way of dealing with such things. In the PM, 
it's somewhere in the mess of stuff stored under /var

I.e., it's handled by the package manager, not by install scripts and so on, 
so if you compile and install from source, it's not going to bump the use 
count on your libraries.
