I've read the thing now and it makes sense. I'm not sure that "share"
is the best name since all of /usr is designed to be shared, but a bit
late for that now.
But I was shocked to see the Linux annex specify that
/usr/include/{asm,linux} should be a symlink -> /usr/src/linux/...
Are we in danger of being labelled FHS-compatible (instead
of FHS-compliant) because we do what libc6 and Linus both recommend?
