what about this : the new to-be 2.1 distribution should be empty (not all these symlinkls to the old hamm tree), and only real new packages with fhs should go there.
this will allow an easy way for most packages to update. for complicated things like email, where all packages have to be upgraded at once, a team of maintainer should do the task, so there is a central group, that will change all e.g. mail packages at the same time. i don't think we need symlinks. e.g. /usr/doc <-> /usr/share/doc isn't a good thing, will cause far more trouble than worth. andreas -- Find out how to avoid all those pesky crashes, lockups, application errors, and slow applications at http://www.debian.org -- Debian can replace Windows 95 with a much more stable operating system.
