The document you pointed, state about /etc/: A configuration file is a local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION But *.ini file in this directory are changed by the application at every run. This files are in fact state variable. That is the reason I used to move it to /var/lib/mldonkey. If this is still the case (i.e. mlnet change .ini file), this is not a bug to have these files in /var/lib.
