Hi co-maintainers,

After installing 2019.07.1-4 and perl6-zef, user would confront
the following issue:

~/D/p/rakudo ❯❯❯ zef
===SORRY!===
Could not find Zef::CLI at line 3 in:
    inst#/home/lumin/.perl6
    inst#/usr/share/perl6/site
    inst#/usr/share/perl6/vendor
    inst#/usr/share/perl6/core
    ap#
    nqp#
    perl5#

Because the required files are put to /usr/lib/perl6/vendor,
a path that is inconsistent with upstream.

I've fixed this bug in the -6 revision and just uploaded it to
experimental. The perl6-* package products will be moved from
/usr/lib/perl6/vendor to /usr/share/perl6/vendor following the
upstream default. I modified the maintainer scripts to smooth
the upgrading process.

Could you please double check the -6 revision? If it looks good,
I'll continue and upload it to unstable and close this bug.
