Or GNU theirs. If GNU was involved in FHS discussions, there are
probably good reasons why the FHS didn't take their views on board.
If they weren't, then they should aim to follow the FHS anyway or aim
to get involved in changing it. I haven't looked, but I would presume
that the Debian GNU/Hurd port is following the FHS, so it can be
done. (Otherwise, we'll have different Debian systems with radically
different filesystem structures, which just seems to me a very bad
prospect, for example, if people choose to migrate at some stage from
Linux to the Hurd, and also for sysadmins trying to look at both
Linux-based and Hurd-based Debian systems. Besides which, it's the
current policy.)
