Bug#42358: policy says /var/lib/games, FHS says /var/games



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.0.1.0

In section 5.10, the first paragraph mentions /var/lib/games.  The FHS
has moved this directory to /var/games.

I suggest a) correcting this, and b) mentioning that programs which
use /var/lib/games should switch.

Old:

  "The permissions on /var/lib/games are 755 `root.root'."

New:

  "The permissions on /var/games are 755 `root.root'.  Games which
   use the FSSTND /var/lib/games should be modified to use the FHS
   /var/games instead."

I'm not sure if this needs seconds, since it's more of a correction
than a new proposal.
