If these were ordinary log files of a running program
generating data, I may agree.
But since we are down to gut feelings, a bunch of files are
generated by postinst, and they all reside in the same place. Some of
these files are read by emacs; some times there is a README read by
the inquisitive users, and then there is a record of what transpired
while gemerating these files.
It strikes my gut as sane that these files, all generated by
the postinst, live in the same location.

They are not even accessed by the user directly, and certainly
not by emacs.
