I did something like that, recently, and it's causing me trouble:I moved everything under /usr/X11R6 to the corresponding directories under /usr (since /usr is a symlink to ".", it's really the corresponding directories under /) and made /X11R6 another symlink to ".". Now, attempts to upgrade XFree86 from new debs fail, as the installation-scripts see what I've done and decide that it's not kosher.
