Your idea is hardly a panacea. Look at two of the FHS changes we have
been dealing with: /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc and /var/lib/games to
/var/games. Even if packages had some trivial way to tell that these
directories had changed, that is not good enough; a fair amount of
code needs to be added to maintainer scripts to make the upgrade
smooth.
