Why change back? Because it's better that way. My sentence was unclear, what I meant was why change from /usr -> / (which has been long in use) and then back again to /usr -> / when the plan has always been to have that symlink or atleast have a translator sitting there. Removing the symlink for the sake of removing it is sily, and that is what happened.
How does getting rid of maintainer scripts solve the problem which maintainer scripts are there to solve? You can't use normal filesystem calls if you have interactive scripts that are running. So you can't do "cp foo.deb /debian-package-magic-directory" or similar to install the package, if you can't, having a "Debian package translator" is totally useles. Debian will do whatever FHS says, and FHS will change the Hurd-annex to say whatever we ask for. First I suggest that you actually get a Hurd annex into the FHS, and that effort has failed several times already. If you look in the archives for debian-hurd I'm sure you will find a couple of drafts that were sent to the FHS people. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
