Is the default now /var/lib? That's why it was removed? Or
is it because of what is later in the file, that there are
no scrollkeeper files any longer?

I don't think we need this. See below.

A couple of things:

1. It reads funny. Perhaps "The test suite requires that the package
has been installed first, but there's no reason to run it as there is
a missing file which causes the test suite to fail."

Perhaps it's just me, but I couldn't parse that first sentence you
wrote until I read it several times.

2. What is a normal user? And once that is defined, what would
an abnormal user be? :-)  We generally use "unprivileged" instead
of normal.

This isn't required because pkg-config now searches
/usr/share/pkgconfig by default. Try it and you'll see.

What happens with packages that still expect scrollkeeper
files? (if there are any)
