Here's what I'll do:
* I recognise the problems, so I will not upgrade to policy 3.0 any
more packages
* However, I will not revert the changes I already have made to my packages,
unless policy is changed to say I have to.
I encourage the policy group to consider it a mistake to mandate the
move prematurely, and to undo the change wrt /usr/doc (not the whole FHS,
though), until a solution is found.
