Hi,

        Would this not be easier done by having a mapping done at
 unpack/install time, and then only scripts/programs with hard coded
 paths need be changed?

        So dpkg would map the Linux FS to the local FS' and it can
 even take into account things like transforming to /opt heirarchy.

        Advantage? Not every darned script/package has to be changed
 for this functionality.
