Over half of Debian is using debhelper. Joey Hess says he will change it to do FHS stuff once FHS is policy. Hope that is useful. When can I upload packages with /usr/doc moved to /usr/share/doc, should I wait until Joey changes debhelper or should I hack it (all my packages are debhelper)? I think I will wait, but freeze is drawning near. I think that I agree with Joey that policy should be changed before FHS packages are uploaded. We need some lintian check as well. Not just file positioning, but references as well. All /usr/doc/$PACKAGE in man pages must change. Every GPL package must have /usr/doc/$PACKAGE/copyright modified to stop pointing at /usr/doc/copyright and point to /usr/share/copyright/GPL instead (that is where copyrights are going right?). -- I consume, therefore I am
