The location is not the point, as long as it's on ram disk (I also want to avoid wearing out the CF card, and save space on it). More important for me is if it is 'allowed' to delete a file that is part of the package. Another solution could be to have it as part of the debian package, without having it copied to the filesystem, and extracting it by another way. But I do not know if that is possible.
