"If /var cannot be made a separate partition, it is often preferable to move /var out of the root partition and into the /usr partition. (This is sometimes done to reduce the size of the root partition or when space runs low in the root partition.) However, /var must not be linked to /usr because this makes separation of /usr and /var more difficult and is likely to create a naming conflict. Instead, link /var to /usr/var."
I think the symlink can go. It's up to the user to decide if he wants a seperate patition for /var or not. The sysmlink doesn't do anything in that regard unless I misunderstood somethoiong. Currently, it only prevents broken packages that use /usr/var instead of /var to stop working.
Eric, you can commit the changes to filesystems/trunk, I think you are right.
hrm back to topic, signoff?
Signoff x86_64 (two machines). The post_install message also seems to show up properly.
