Package: debian-policy Version: 3.5.6.0 Severity: minor 10.1.3 The system-wide mail directory: The system-wide mail directory is /var/mail. ..... The use of the old location /var/spool/mail is deprecated ....
and: 12.6 Mail transport, delivery and user agents: ... The mail spool is /var/spool/mail .... perhaps some clarification here would be appropriate? FHS 5.11 specifies /var/mail as the system mail spool.
