you'll end up coming up with some new tools or improvements to tools for
converting all kinds of documentation to HTML :)

I like SysV inits :) Of course, that doesn't mean I couldn't get used to

Any major issues that would prevent you from using (something close
to) FHS? That's the way Debian does it and it works beautifully (except
for the current dichotomy between /usr/doc and /usr/share/doc, which
should be resolved by the time potato is stable).
