It looks like someone had to choose between breaking the /var/agentx/master convention and the FHS (no new subdirectories under /var without FHS consultation). Besides, "It may create other, implementation-specific endpoints" was interpreted as a possible alternative implementation. This way, both "standards" could be satisfied. As long as all respective programs (integrated in Debian or configurable to use the socket location) can use the /var/agentx/master, this looks like an acceptable approach (as practiced similarly throughout Debian). If this imposes any kind of serious problem, please describe, or even better: File a bug against the net-snmp package in Debian. Then we can sort it out.
