Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.38
Severity: normal

It is my understanding that the apt-xapian-index database is a cache
of existing data. I.e. there are not data stored in the database
that could not be recreated automatically.

If this is the case, then the database should be moved from
/var/lib/apt-xapian-index to /var/cache/apt-xapian-index, as
specified by the FHS.

Otherwise, the database will e.g. be backed up (my backup tools
ignore /var/cache, but not /var/lib), which is just a waste.

Thanks for your consideration.
