Or /boot/var, perhaps (variable data, available at boot time).
The problem with this is that /boot is a separate mountpoint, which
could really be anywhere, even on the network in odd cases. It's also
easier to make /boot read-only than / on existing Debian systems --
nothing but lilo and dpkg write into /boot at present.
"/etc/var" or perhaps "/lib/var" could be made to work, without running
the risk of breaking existing setups.
