Riccardo, The FHS layout was developed so that GNUstep binaries and libraries can be used without having to source GNUstep.sh and I'm sure it works just fine for many people's purposes.
I believe by "flattened" he was referring to not having the /usr/GNUstep and ~/GNUstep directories around. The solution you mention will address the former, but not the latter as the user directory for GNUstep will still be there, I'm afraid.
