As far as I can tell, the only inter-package issue is /usr/share/doc;
everything else should be internal to most packages or within a subset
of them. (And many of the other issues are already being dealt with...)
So FHS compliance with the possible exception of /usr/share/doc should
be easily doable. I dunno if it's critical for potato
though... perhaps for potato+1 (woody? I can't remember).
(And /usr/share/doc could be dealt with with some hacks to dpkg, if we
expect all of /usr/doc to move... just make potato's dpkg rewrite the
filenames and modify /var/lib/dpkg/package.list accordingly.)
The more critical issue is overlapping installations into /usr/share
on multiple machines, but this isn't an FHS issue, it's a packaging
and dependency issue.
