Description

Could you send us some patches or a PR at GH? Do those patches fix this issue? http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nullmailer/nullmailer_1.13-1.debian.tar.xz /var/nullmailer is how upstream packages it. Debian moves the queue directory stuff to /var/spool/nullmailer for their FHS compliance goals. So the question is really, should we follow upstream or go with Debian? The debian patches DO make the documentation match their location of /var/spool/nullmailer. As to which is best, there are believers in both setups. /var/nullmailer as a path comes from the same origin as /var/qmail, and DJB had a very old screed about why /var/spool/ wasn't the best fit for qmail.

I think it is better to follow the FHS.
