This is nonsense!  The directory suffix is supposed to be *more* *specific* 
as the suffixed directories are preferred.  As a result, if you have all 
three of those directories and files, there is *dead* *code* in 
layout/main.xml as the screen mode is either “portrait” or “landscape”, and 
the default is “portrait”.

    I feel obligated at this point to recommend to everyone to just ignore
    everything that Stefan Ram says regarding IT.  He is a folk high school¹
    teacher² impervious to criticism who has repeatedly demonstrated that he
    has no clue what he is talking about, and probably has not worked so
    much as one hour in IT.  For all the time that I have been reading him
    in the German-speaking Usenet (several years now), he has just been
    posing; he has never acknowledged any mistake nor engaged in so much as
    one discussion to defend his usually ill-advised ideas :-(

You are not required to have any formal education or degree to teach there.  
If suffices that you can convince the school administration that you know 
what you are talking about.  Which is of course a joke as the administration 
usually does not understand the topic themselves, and thus cannot make an 
informed judgement.  As a result, while the education is comparably 
inexpensive, you can also find all sorts of crackpots "teaching" there.
