Right, I remember it was somewhere there, I read it when you pointed

But the reference is not straight - The Debian policy points at the
FHS, the FHS points at LANANA. I think we should at least note this in
our own documents, stating it is so in order to comply with the
documents we are following.
I know this could be extrapolated to require us to add tons of links
to our policy... But even so, I think those links are not unneeded
cruft.
