/var/lib is for state information, such as editor backup files, distribution packaging system data, and so forth. 'lib' is arguably an unfortunate name, as other '*/lib's are for libraries. As far as I can tell, the GNU coding standards would place the contents of /var/lib in /com. Maybe there are other subdirectories of /var whose contents would be in /com, too.
