 This package contains a script which downloads RFCs containing SNMP MIB
 files and extracts them into /usr/share/mibs/ietf. It also downloads the
 most current MIBs from IANA and extracts them into /usr/share/mibs/iana.

 afaict this wouldn't be policy compliant wrt the FHS.  such a script
 would need to download them to somewhere under /var/{lib,cache} or
 maybe under /usr/local/share if it's intended to be primarily manually 
 invoked.

Putting MIBs  in /var/lib/mibs seems  a sensible choice. A  symlink from
/usr/share/mibs/{ietf,iana} would help too.

  Description : Downloads RFCs and IANA Docs containing MIBs and extracts 
them

This package contains a script which downloads RFCs containing SNMP MIB
files and extracts them into /usr/share/mibs/ietf. It also downloads the
most current MIBs from IANA and extracts them into /usr/share/mibs/iana.

Strictly, the MIBs are not necessary for SNMP operations, but they contain
names and descriptions for the SNMP OID tree.
