Yes: Wichert asked them to pick a strategy for the transition and they
picked one. [The least of several evils: not ideal but better than
the alternatives.]
However, the policy group has not yet seen fit to publish that approach
in the debian-policy package. At the moment, there's no policy version
that a package can use if it wants to use the FHS layout, without
breaking FSSTND.
The policy group created this situation -- it would be good to clean
it up. [Personally, I'm refusing to release any packages under 3.x
policy until this gets fixed.]
