Are there any obvious 'defaults' or should I just invent names I fancy and stop being so OCD? :-)
I would look at ubuntu-policy, debian-policy, debian-python-policy, File Heirarchy Standard and so on. I expect there are defaults (probably $HOME/lib/python and so on) which the system packages would use automatically but I do not know them by heart.
There are some more generic policies worth looking at too; see the XDG Base Directory Specification[0] or Python's PEP 370[1] for example.
