gophernicus had a similar issue. By default, it wanted to serve files
out of /var/gopher, but FHS §5.1 states
Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of
/var. Such directories should only be added if they have some
system-wide implication, and in consultation with the FHS mailing
list.
Instead, gophernicus in Debian serves from /srv/gopher by default to
comply with FHS §3.17.1. The gophernicus package does not create this
directory. Instead, I just documented the issue in README.Debian [0],
and included the default gophermap as an examples file.
If there's a better solution, I'd be happy to hear it.
Best,
Ryan
