Re: /home/user/var ?
That discussion about the structuring of the home directories is nothing
hurd-specific at all. First it is something, the applications have to take
care of - and except for a limited set of tool, most programs are written
for UN*I-compatible systems in general.
Since forcing app-developers to do something in a certain way can't work, it
would be a thing to be enforced by the distribution, i.e. Debian would have
to adopt it as a policy and the packagers would then have to change the
paths in the .deb packages.
Debian GNU/HURD should not try do things too much different from Debian
GNU/Linux - that would just mean slowing down the package-porting process.
Therefore, if one really succeeds in convincing the Debian community to
adopt that policy, that's fine. Anyhow - I do not believe you'll get a
majority for that idea...
