Why are minirc.dfl and minicom.users in /var/lib/minicom at all? At least
minicom.users belongs to the /etc directory. I'm not sure if minicom.dfl
is more a configuration file (/etc) or a state file (/var/lib/minicom).
BTW: /var/lib won't be part of the next fsstnd/fhs release.

PS: I already discussed it with the minicom Debian maintainer. But he
thinks that /var/lib/minicom is the correct place for both files (and
closed the existing bug report).
