Indeed I don;t plan on using it outside of the fs infra for now (I have
another series that will rely on it, but still in the fs infra).

However, this is generic enough that it is not specific to the fs infra.
Thus I believe it belong to pkg-utils.

If you still prefer I move it to fs/common.mk, that's also OK for me.

Yann E. MORIN.
