disc-cover is a Perl program that creates jewel case liner notes in a number of formats. The new version has moved to a template system for the various types of jewel cases. I checked FHS as pointed to by the Policy manual. I think these template files should go in `/usr/share/disc-cover', is this correct?
Well, do they change during runtime (e.g. by downloading a new set from within the program)? If so, you should use /var/lib, otherwise, you should use /usr/share/disc-cover like you guessed. So yes, I think you are probably right.
And my second question... The new version, (1.5.4) ships with a little web interface where you can search FreeDB for albums and generate the jewel case inserts, (as versus the main use case which builds an insert for the CD in your drive). The version that is currently packaged, (1.4.0) also included this interface but it wasn't included in the package. Should I include this? Should I setup it up based on a debconf question? Should I just include the needed files and instructions for someone to set it up themselves? How should this one be handled?
Well, I don't know how tightly the web interface is linked (not in the ld.so sense, but interface-wise) to the actual program. But I could imagine two packages: The program itself including the templates in one package and the web interface in another package (which would depend on the program obviously and on a webserver).
