Let me point out that you are referencing a Sun package, and comparing
it to CSW packages.
Sun does not always do things sanely.
For example, shipping the *config* files for smf, under /var.
idiotic.

SUNWapch2r seems to be similarly stupid.

btw: directories under /var/opt are no problem.

Its not a matter of "no you cant configure the program to *use* /var/opt".
It's merely a matter of not "shipping them *in* /var/opt".
ie, "dont put files in /var/opt as part of your 'prototype' file".
There isnt a problem with a postinstall script copying files into
/var/opt/csw, from elsewhere, as I already explicitly said on this
thread.

It's fairly trivial for "the maintainer" to toss together a
postinstall script to copy them from somewhere else. Should take all
of 10 minutes.

Like a template? I'd be happy to write one, if it's going to actually get used.
