The same applies to ManDirectoryRoot, since ProjectRoot is a prefix of
ManDirectoryRoot

But some other issues might appear in other packages. linux.cf does
define ProjectRoot to /usr, so let's just do the same for Debian
GNU/Hurd.

/share/man, simply because prefix is /

Keep it as you already submitted. That's what we do in the Linux case,
let's just do the same for Debian GNU/Hurd, even if that is not useful
to xxkb, it'd be useful to other packages.

So in short: please apply Svante's patch, and keep it as Debian-specific
patch.
