The "common" directories are merged directories: they contain the contents of
packages as well as the non-packaged directories.
While it would be possible to have writes to that directory appear in
non-packaged, the semantics wouldn't always be clear (like what would happen if
you delete a file from a package?).
Package management delivers the new main directory structure. It will happen
rarely that you use the non-packaged directories at all. It's likely only
developers will ever use them once most software has been packaged.
Bye,
