I think for Debian GNU/Hurd, it makes sense to have a real /usr
directory, i.e. not creating a /usr->. symlink at the start, and just
have a /usr as on GNU/Linux.  Whether or not /usr is a seperate file
system is a seperate decision and something which is not very easy to do
with the current baseGNU.tgz I guess.

The true GNU snapshots will have a /usr->. symlink (or no /usr at all).
Note that crosshurd gives the user the chance to decide whether or not
they want a /usr->. symlink, defaulting to no symlink.
