Greetings! Its exceedingly simple, hopefully not embarrassingly so:
#!/bin/bash
export AXIOM=/usr/lib/axiom-0.20040128
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
exec $AXIOM/bin/AXIOMsys

Well, I can tell that we're perhaps not quite square with the
following, but the idea is this section of the FHS:
/usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages
Purpose
/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that
are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell
scripts. [22]
Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an
application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data
exclusively used by the application must be placed within that
subdirectory. [23]
/usr/lib is common Debian practice for arch-dependent modules and
binaries not customarily invoked directly by the user. /opt certainly
also seems like a possibility, but I've yet to find a Debian package
using it. Perhaps I can find time to investigate this further.
Take care,
