The FHS isn't just a Debian thing - it's intended to be a standard for
all Linux distributions, making them more consistent with each other.
That alone is a worthwhile thing. Besides, the intention is that dpkg
should support this eventually so the packages are going to have to be
modified at some point. It may as well be done before the changes are
made in dpkg as after.
