Given Mike's recent (and much needed) reduction of the contents of
/usr/mdec stuff into a pile which is 95% obsolete or otherwise
insufficiently general to merit installation into /usr/<sometopleveldir>
and 5% which has already moved, I think we might just have the basis
for an agreement here. :-)

Works for me. Other bits of code, like sysinstall, also have their
own dependencies on this.
