From what I can make out, *only* udev and systemd are making this a |
| 15 |
hard-and-fast thing so far. kmod has added a configure argument, and |
| 16 |
no one else has moved yet. In reality, fedora is patching a lot of |
| 17 |
packages to make them install in /usr. |
| 18 |
|

*If* GNU packages decide to move to /usr, *then* we can contemplate |
| 20 |
moving. Till then, I say let's just do whatever Debian is doing. |
