I have thought about this some before and am very much in favor of making /usr a real directory which is optionally a separate filesystem IN DEBIAN HURD. It is very nice that the Hurd is flexible enough not to require /usr, but let's face it: the Debian operating system requires it. Let's just add that (removal of /usr) to the list of things to do (along with renaming /etc as /conf) when we decide to ditch Unix compatibility for whatever reason. -John
