Hello!
Having a symbolic link for `/usr' that points to `.' has again and again
proven to be not really suitable for the Debian GNU/Hurd operating system
-- simply for the reason that this isn't what Debian GNU/Linux is doing,
which is where 99,9 % of all Debian packages are maintained, I guess, and
we Hurd people don't have the resources to fix those where it breaks.
The `crosshurd' installation method already allows choosing between
having a real `/usr' directory or having the symlink, but the CD
installation method does not.
Philip, can you change the CD scripts to not create the ``/usr -> .''
symbolic link? For simplicity I'd suggest to do it that way instead of
making it configurable at installation time, which could also be done, of
course.
And: congratulations as well from my side for the K14 release. I didn't
need it so far, as there was so far no reason to re-install my box, but
the day will come, I guess... ;-)

Thomas
Thomas,
I'm all for it. I realize that it isn't the "GNU" way but it is the
Debian way and it does cause issues building some packages on Debian.
Thanks!
