I must have misunderstood Emile's question then. I thought he was asking when it would be reasonable to have create a new root-level directory, in general. Not anything to do with Debian specifically. In particular, with my understanding of his question, a natural extension would be, "When would/should the FHS specify that a new root-level directory be added," which is what would lead to a circular argument. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
