When I need daemon (or other not human user) produced data to persist

Perhaps the package in question could simply be patched to use /srv ??
Hmm, not a bad idea actually, although historically with 'Old Unix (TM)'
I would probably use /usr or /var/lib (if it's new enough to have
/var/lib). Yes, /usr, not /usr/lib or /usr/share; my first Unix system
place user home directores right off of /usr (I had my /usr/lowen from
my Tandy 6000 Xenxi system on 30 8-inch floppies once; kindof wish I had
those again, although enough of them would probably be unreadable so I
would lose some segments of the multi-floppy tar; but the readable
segments could still be restored, since it was an uncompressed tar.....).
Today I would say a directory tree right off of /var or /srv wouldn't be
inappropriate.
