one more question to be sure
is it possible that the package create /srv/firebird for instance with
%config(noreplace) ?
or in other word, is that possible to create a directory under /srv
that would not be own after by the package ?
No. We can't assume what the site admin wants to do with /srv/.
Perhaps they have an internal software project called 'firebird' and
want to store data in /srv/ for it. By having a package touch things
in /srv/ or expect to read things from /srv/ we would be trampling on
the site admin's local config and could cause data loss or corruption.
/srv/ is a no fly zone, period.
