Well, to deal with one particular aspect of incrementel upgrading there are some people (very competent developers, overall) who are seriously proposing that *every*single*package* must be changed and re-released for potato. That means those that have not yet migrated to FHS as well as those which have. And that inevitably means that potato's release will be delayed. Personally, I don't think that's a very reasonable solution to the problem, but the alternatives are (1) let some users' systems break on incremental update (apt-get install <packages>), or (2) revert the packages which have already migrated to FHS and come up with a different solution. To be fair, this particular issue is not about /usr/man/. It is, however, a result of the same sentence in policy that specified the change from /usr/man/ -> /usr/share/man/. -- Raul
