No, it sais that those dirs should exist. Not that all docs should go there. |
24 |
In any case following that kind of policy would be pain in the ass for many |
25 |
packages that have different opinions. |

Probably more as it is not indirect, the FHS does not say anywhere that more |
36 |
dirs are not allowed they just specify the minimal set. It is perfectly legal |
37 |
to make aditions that do not violate the rules in the FHS. The /usr/packages |
38 |
idea does not violate this idea. |

I don't mind keeping things this way, but people seem to want it. |
