Right. Considering the GNU Coding Standards' section on `Variables for
Installation Directories'
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Directory-Variables
there are two similar cases:
* sharedstatedir should be /var/gnu/com (or /var/gnu, I don't really
know). /usr/gnu/com may not be writable, e.g. in sparse-root zones or on
diskless clients.
* localstatedir should be /var/gnu.
