Subject: CONFIG['(site|ruby)libdir'] policies?

On my system (Debian Linux), Config::CONFIG['sitelibdir'] and
Config::CONFIG['rubylibdir'] are mapped respectively to
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6 and /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.6.

I have also installed 1.7, so there are /usr/lib/ruby/1.7 and
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.7, too.

What is the policy of the interpreter in accessing these directories?
Does Ruby 1.6 access /usr/lib/ruby/1.6 only, while Ruby 1.7 accesses
both /usr/lib/ruby/1.7 and /usr/lib/ruby/1.6?

Should a module working in 1.6 and 1.7 be placed in .../1.6?  Should a
module working in 1.7 but not in 1.6 be placed in .../1.7, and so on?
