Yes, but I think that if someone really disagrees here then I would want
tech-ctte to rule on it or something.

Changing all the other packages is going to use up a lot of time that
could be used instead for improving the technical quality of the
packages through testing, bug squashing and documentation instead of
chasing down bugs triggered by moving the whole folder structure.

All the other packages use /var/ax25 and have for *decades*. Custom
software people build is expecting /var/ax25.

The goal of the bug is to remove the last of /var/lib/ax25 from the
archive, if the files move to /usr/share then that is also fine with me.
(It does look to be a better place for them, but I don't know what they
do or why they are there, maybe there is good reason.)

Thanks,
Iain.
