+	# unrar doesn't officially install headers, but unofficially, software
+	# depends on it anyway. There is no standard for where to install them,
+	# but the most common location (shared by nearly all vendors) is "unrar".
+	# FreeBSD alone uses "libunrar". Gentoo formerly used "libunrar6" and
+	# had a compat symlink for FreeBSD, then passed the compat location in
+	# ./configure scripts e.g. for sys-fs/rar2fs. Software in the wild
+	# seems to expect either "unrar" or "libunrar".
+	# See: https://bugs.gentoo.org/916036
+	#
+	# We now use the "standard" (hah) location, and keep the compat symlink but
+	# change the destination. The version-suffixed location lacks utility, but
+	# we would keep it if we could, just in case -- unfortunately portage is
+	# buggy: https://bugs.gentoo.org/834600
+	#
+	# Hopefully, no one has ever actually used it and therefore this does not
+	# matter. The odds are on our side, since it periodically changed location
+	# arbitrarily.
