I might need a special partition for slab. How do I do that?

[Olaf Stetzer <stetzer@itu.fzk.de>]

Hello,

my work on slab stalled for quite a time, meanwhile I uploaded
my first package (mountapp) to master :-) 
Now Iwant to finish my work on slab which is a harddisk-recording
program suite. For this kind of application one usually needs lots
of hd-space for audio data. Upstream usually uses a sub-directory
of the program-tree to store this kind of data, recommending the
use of a special partition which is mounted to that location.
I am not shure how to handle this. If I leave it unchanged,
slab will use a subdirectory of /usr/lib/slab for this data but me 
thinks, that this is not the correct way. 

Maybe I just get the package out like this for the first time and wait
for complaints and suggestions for future versions, and leave it
to the admin to take care of this special situation?

Or ist there a good default place for the data, somewhere in /var/* 
maybe?

Thanks,

Olaf
