Package: debhelper Version: 13.20 Severity: wishlistDear maintainers, I have been using the Meson module for debhelper and noticed something that to me seems like a non-ideal default build system parameter. Namely this line in meson.pm. push @opts, "--localstatedir=/var";
https://sources.debian.org/src/debhelper/13.20/lib/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/meson.pm/ Arguably, --localstatedir=/var/lib is a better default, as per the FHS definition for variable state information. https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html#varlibVariableStateInformation It can be confirmed in a current unstable or Bookworm system that practically all programs put their local state files into /var/lib rather than /var … Would you consider changing the default in the debhelper script? Sincerely, Daniel Markstedt
