libdata doesn't seem correct.  From hier(7):

                libdata/  miscellaneous utility data files
                libexec/  system daemons & system utilities (executed by other
                          programs)

So libdata is to be used by files generated by or used by libraries and
programs, AFAIU.  Like keeping a plugins database, or a binary database,
etc.  Not for the code itself.

libexec seems the best solution to me too, and I think I'll change devel/ltsa
to use it too.
