How about: The location of all installed files and directories must be compatible with the Linux Filesystem Heirarchy Standard (FHS), and should be compliant with it, except as noted. Locations should not comply with the FHS where a violation is mandated by Debian policy, or would be impractical or unreasonable. I suppose that the only virtue of my phrasing is that it has simpler sentences, it still isn't all that easy to parse. > -- > Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single > or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- Thomas Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://finbar.dyndns.org/ gpg key id 1024D/ACABA81E, fingerprint: 3A47 CFA5 0E5D CF4A 5B22 12D3 FF1B 84FE ACAB A81E
