That's what I mean. Whatever the hardwired defaults at compile time
the /etc/sysconfig/vdr takes precedence. So the package's scripts can
easily autoadjust to whatever situation. For correctness sake (imagine
someone calling vdr manually) the compile time defaults should be w/o
any /srv bits.

But that would be wrong. One of the main FHS aspects is that a package
should not remove anything (e.g. not own anything) beneath /srv. And
that's what the draft also tried to map into the guidelines.

Just to reiterate: The /srv/vdr folder currently breaks all
/srv/<domain> setups.
