Notably, the (possibly dated) wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts says $local_fs as well and I got no reference/recent mail debate in the back of my head to claim otherwise (unlike /usr, which I can remember seeing some debate about on debian-devel). I will leave /var for now as it is. Feel free to bring up /var requiring $remote_fs once stretch released. I will be happy to implement it given a consensus on debian-devel. Thanks, ~Niels
