Hear, hear! I wanted this to happen in the fsstnd work that happened
during debian 0.93 but (as you vigilantly point out :) the disk size
problem at the time was to big a hurdle for most.

This is actually less of a problem than you might think: many programs use
imake (aka xmkmf) and for those a simple recompile will be enough.
But we should propose the move for FHS 2.1, IMO in the form of a single
addition like "The subdirectories under /usr/X11R6 may be symbolic links to
the corresponding subdirectories of /usr.".
Best,
