The hacks aren't 'unnecessary'. There is a very good reason that files |
| 7 |
that are used *purely at build time* don't land in /. That reason is |
| 8 |
disk space. Even if people nowadays are forced to use initramfs with |
| 9 |
separate /usr, it doesn't mean you should just let their rootfs fill up |
| 10 |
with useless files. |

Do you have any *real* argument? Because 'unnecessary hack' is |
| 13 |
basically your feeling of ebuild aesthetics. My aesthetics is more |
| 14 |
worried about useless clutter in /lib*. FHS agrees with me, as you |
| 15 |
yourself admitted yesterday. |

So why do you believe we should introduce this regression? And why are |
| 18 |
you trying to sneak it past most of the developers via gentoo-portage- |
| 19 |
dev instead of gentoo-dev? |
