Hi, Russell,

The origin of this was a wrong choice from dictionaries-common many
years ago. That dir contains info supplied by packages containing
dicts that is used to help different programs requiring spellchecking
to have the relevant info. So, this is not aspell-en specific.

Bug#1033154: aspell-en: should not have /var/lib files in the package

2023-03-18 Thread Russell Coker 
Package: aspell-en
Version: 2020.12.07-0-1
Severity: minor

The FHS describes /var/lib as "State information. Persistent data modified by
programs as they run (e.g., databases, packaging system metadata, etc.)."

The files that are included in a package are expected not to change in normal
operation and therefore aren't "modified by programs".  So /var/lib isn't the
right place for this.  Maybe /usr/lib would be the right place.

One reason that this matters is for security systems that treat /usr and /var
differently.
