Does it matter?  Is it worth investing time into investigating this? 
Or are we not really considering moving to the proposed Jackson
filesystem layout?  (In which case it's probably not worth investing
time to look what SuSE did in detail.)

And the more important question: how often do we want to rehash the
usrmerge discussion?  At some point we should stick with a decision and
not endlessly restart discussions (unless something really significant
changes, but I don't think this is the case).  *mumble* leadership
something *mumble*

If we want to restart discussions, we can talk about init system
support in Debian and costs/benefits of supporting some of them. :-)
