Big or not, it is a deal which will definitely delay hamm release.

I hope it is not too late. After this libc5-updates (or whatever its
name) upload directory is created (WHEN?????) we will have 3 
distribution trees to maintain. Having one more is surely overkill.
Let's make one change at a time. Conformance to FHS would be the goal
of next after hamm release.

Thanks.
