Re: Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.0 (fwd)

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@dungeon.inka.de>]

what about this :
the new to-be 2.1 distribution should be empty (not all these symlinkls
to the old hamm tree), and only real new packages with fhs should go
there.

this will allow an easy way for most packages to update.

for complicated things like email, where all packages have to be
upgraded at once, a team of maintainer should do the task,
so there is a central group, that will change all e.g. mail packages at
the same time. 

i don't think we need symlinks.
e.g. /usr/doc <-> /usr/share/doc isn't a good thing, will cause far more
trouble than worth.
