No. Variable data can't go into /usr. I believe the right answer is /var/state/portstentry/ or /var/run/portsentry/, depending on which of the following more closely describes your needs (read these sections for full details; the FHS is included in the debian-standards package): [from sec. 5.9, /var/run] This directory contains system information files describing the system since it was booted. Files in this directory should be cleared (removed or truncated as appropriate) at the beginning of the boot process. [from sec. 5.11, /var/state] State information is data that programs modify while they run, and that pertains to one specific host. Users should never need to modify files in /var/state to configure a package's operation. State information is generally used to preserve the condition of an application (or a group of inter-related applications) between invocations and between different instances of the same application. State information should generally remain valid after a reboot, should not be logging output, and should not be spooled data.
