Well, to get a proper installation with minimal disc swaps it is best to
have certain conditions met. Check the debian-devel archives for a
discussion on this (long time ago).
Besides, this standard is not for APT, it is for you people who are making
CD's, as long as you follow the basic rules I've already outlined you are
free to do most whatever you like.
If you must make a standard then content and structure is the thing to
standardize.
