If you look into the current policy document, it says:
______________________________________________________________________
The location of all installed files and directories must comply (with
some exceptions [1] ) with the Linux File system Hierarchy Standard
(FHS). The latest version of this document can be found alongside this
manual or on tsx-11.mit.edu in
/pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd/. Specific questions about
following the standard may be asked on `debian-devel', or referred to
Daniel Quinlan, the FHS coordinator, at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
[1] In an as yet unreleased version of the standard, the location of
the mail spool and state information directories has changed; and
we proipose to follow the latter, since that would mean that we
do not ahve to move things around again when the new version of
the FHS comes around). The changes are, amongst others,
s%/var/mail%/var/spool/mail% and s%/var/state%/var/lib%
______________________________________________________________________
I think that covers it.
