I agree that it would be nice, but I think it can wait until there is better 
Debian-wide support for clusters of workstations nfs-mounting /usr/share. As it 
currently stands I don't believe Debian can be made to behave nicely in such an 
environment, with conflicts/deficiencies arising between packages installed on 
servers and workstations. I welcome any hints/suggestions to to contrary :-)

Worthwhile considering for the future, but no point in holding up a Policy for 
it right now.
