Simply that Debian decrees where particular bits should go in the filesystem: very roughly /media is for dynamically mounted devices (like USB sticks) and /mnt is for manually mounted devices (like hard drive partitions). Part of my idea was that you have a drives directory somewhere, but you don't have to have any files in it. You can then create symbolic links to whereever the files actually are. So I'd envisage something like: /var/lib/rpcemu/drives/ containing symbolic links like: /var/lib/rpcemu/drives/hd4.hdf /var/lib/rpcemu/drives/hostfs where the actual files can be wherever you like. But this place (/var/lib/rpcemu) needs to be defined by default so that users know where to look in the first place. My patch also allows this location to be configured in rpc.cfg so you don't actually have to have anythingin /var/lib if you don't want to. That's where it would go on Debian, but not on Windows and probably other places on other systems.
