I think that in some place into /var/

See it:

(extracted of FHS 2.1)

/var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and
files, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary
files.

(...)

	"Variable data"
Process accounting logs (if supported)
Application cache data
System crash dumps (if supported)
Variable game data
Variable state information
Lock files
Log files and directories
User mailbox files
Variable data for /opt
Data relevant to running processes
Application spool data
Temporary files preserved between system reboots
Network Information Service (NIS) database files

What do you think?

Ok

As part of brazilian portuguese translator team. I'm a begginer in art
of software development (my formation is Philosophy, not Computation :)
) Your software is my first debian package. But I find help in the
brazilizan community of debian developers.

There is a mailing-list: debian-internationalization at
debian.org. Your solution can be introduced there, too.

But, I am interested her, too. What about?
