Package: aspell-en
Version: 2020.12.07-0-1
Severity: minor

The FHS describes /var/lib as "State information. Persistent data modified by
programs as they run (e.g., databases, packaging system metadata, etc.)."

The files that are included in a package are expected not to change in normal
operation and therefore aren't "modified by programs".  So /var/lib isn't the
right place for this.  Maybe /usr/lib would be the right place.

One reason that this matters is for security systems that treat /usr and /var
differently.
