Of course, since Debian follows the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (see in 
particular http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#FTN.AEN1058), 
perhaps it's best to just report bugs against all such programs that 
people actually use (and fix such programs in Athena itself).  I replied 
to the following existing Debian bugs in this space today:
