Henrik, do the Debian packages follow the Debian policy (so, more or
less the FHS or whatever it is called now) for files locations ?

This has always been the most important headache with BB, as its
design nearly prevents to use it with correct files organisation
(binary stuff in /usr/bin, variable stuff such as status, history in
/var/lib/hobbit, configuration in /etc/hobbit...).

If so, why not consider having hobbit part of Debian ?

You may even easily find a sponsor for this, indeed.
