Speaking of which, I think it's fascinating that noone has noted
so far that the RPM database lives in /var, too.

I consider the rpm database to be transient on the system as well.
When I'm restoring the system, I'm not restoring an exact copy, most
often I'm doing a fresh install with the same /manifest/ and dropping
the backed up data in place.
