As discussed on IRC, the expected default values are specified in <http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html>. I think it’s reasonable to keep following these rules. However, for the purpose of avoiding bad surprises (configuring Guix with the wrong localstatedir), I thought we could have a ‘configure’ check that would compare the chosen localstatedir with the current installation’s localstatedir, and bail out if they don’t match. WDYT? Thanks, and apologies for the delay! Ludo’.
