Re: /usr/bin -> /bin changes



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Things I've heard lately: "we had planned", "it was promised".

Well, this is the changelog entry in base-files:

  * Removed compatibility symlinks /usr/spool, /usr/tmp, /usr/adm
    and /var/adm. Now is when we have to see if something breaks.

The meaning of this is: If none of *our* software is broken by the time
hamm is released, then the symlinks will not need to be restored.

As Hamish has pointed out, if a user needs these symlinks, he/she may
create them locally too. About the "average user": Anybody who is
experienced enough to install non-Debian software instead of doing
"dpkg -i" will surely be able to create a simple symlink.
