Ah, I thought I'd broken something in my local checkout - glad it isn't just me.

Apparently we're now defaulting to the FHS layout (Fred!  I'm surprised you 
didn't check the ChangeLog, which seems to explain this...).  

I'd also like there to have been some discussion of this before it became the 
default.  We do not support the FHS layout for Étoilé, and several parts of 
Étoilé are known to be broken when using it.
