But the fxload isn't dependent on the hotplug-core, now is it?

As for the directory structure questions, I say just have a fxload
subdirectory from the main root.  And move the Makefile that builds
everything to the main directory also.  That way we aren't dependent on
any directory layout specifics (I think debian's directory tree is
different from Red Hat's in some specific places.)  Then the .rpm or
.deb file can build their packages to suit their layouts.

Just my 2 cents.
