Yes, FHS says:

"Previous Linux releases, as well as all commercial vendors, use
/var/preserve for vi or its clones.  However, each editor uses its own
format for these crash-recovery files, so a separate directory is needed
for each editor."

Therefore, since no Debian package seems to use /var/preserve, I'm not
going to add it to base-files just for fun.

I will close this bug if nobody objects.
