I mostly agree in general, but I don't know what, for instance, should be done about database servers that have a default database location. That really should be in /srv under this principle, but since we can't assume any particular file structure in /srv, we'd need to ask the user during installation where to put the default database location. And then it's not clear what to do if they don't answer. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
