Package: apt-zip
Severity: normal

apt-zip has hardcoded into it the default mountpoint /ZIP, which is not
fhs compliant. A fhs compliant mount point for a zip disk would be
/media/zip or so, altough zip drives are so obsolete nowadays that I
doubt anyone has ever set up such a mount point. It would be fine to try
to use /ZIP if it existed and fall back to /media/zip if not.

Also, it's rather a pity that it has this assumption that it will be
used with some removable zip media, since surely it would be more usual
these days to have a USB or firewire removable drive? Or to do as I am
doing with my first use of the program and transfer the files using my
laptop and nfs.
