Does that mean that an ftpServer.deb is not allowed to issue
mkdir /srv/ftp
or
mkdir /home/ftp
?
My interpretation: programs should not hard code the path /home/ftp or /srv/ftp
(i.e. should
be configurable).
An admin could use any directory (also with home made package).
For standard debian package, it is more tricky. I expect a question at
configuration time,
and flexibility to use alternate "roots".
