I like the rest of this mail a lot. We can even default
PRENET_VARIABLE_DATA to be /etc/managed/var, or something, so we are
not creating non FHS dirs by default on every Debian machine; and
that can be changed by people who mount / readonly, and have packages
that modify configuration files at run time.
