I'm following up this a little late, so maybe somebody already pointed
you to the SGML/XML part of the proposed Linux Standard Base (LSB) spec:

  http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/lsbsgml.html

or for specifics on directory structure:

  http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/sgmlr001.html

It's a proposed standard, so current distributions aren't yet
necessarily consistent with it of course.
