   In another mail message, you quoted the hier(7) man page about what goes
   into /var.  The man page says nothing at all about machine-dependent
   config files, which seem to me to definitely belong to /var (/var being
   a private area per host).

No; they belong in /etc.  Nothing permanent should be in /var.
