Yes, this seems to be a valid objection. However [call me a heretic if you want] does this state information really belong to /var? It is written to only when /usr is written to, by the same package manager that modifies the root fs and /usr. Maybe it's time to move it to /usr so that it is not intermixed with really variable user data. -- Alexander E.
