plea for "vanilla" sub-directories

[Marc.Herbert@ens-lyon.fr]

Hi,

I do not take much risk pretending that the "disks-i386/current/"
directory tree is extremely confusing for most people, especially for
the newcomers.

<http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s4.2>

I think a simple (?) modification would greatly enhance understanding of
this (lack of?) order and enhance understanding of the whole "4.2
Downloading Files from Debian Mirrors" section in general:

   the addition of "vanilla" sub-directories.

For instance, today, you can find "kernel-config" files at 3 (!)
different depths in the hierarchy. Using "vanilla" sub-dirs (or
"default" sub_dirs, or even both names with a symbolic link,...), that
would reduce this to 2 different depths only, and even 1 depth only for
most other files.

My two eurocents.

Cheers,

Marc.
