The only alternative solution which I consider acceptable would be to move everything back to /etc and then symlink the /usr/lib/ directory to the /etc/ directory. But I am sure that you can understand why this transition would be hard and messy for the maintainers of the affected packages at this point in time. BTW, I want to point out that Rusty Russell neatly summarized the points of the / to /usr argument: http://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=236 . -- ciao, Marco
