 Replying to [comment:61 rvs]:
 > - also, I think FHS is dead and hardly makes sense in modern world of
 docker and static builds. Sadly it will take Debian and other traditional
 distros quite a while to figure this out.

 We could argue about that, not sure if I agree. But anyway I think we
 agree that is useful to be able to configure the path of things like
 storage or logs which is what matters for this issue.

 > - As a sysadmin, I'd be pissed if Debian ships tahoe with very non-
 standard mangled configuration just for FHS sake and makes magic behind my
 back to automatically create and start a node.

 I'm not the debian packager, but what makes sense for me is to package
 tahoe as it is (no magic) so the intended use case of tahoe being run by
 each user separately is still the default one. And to ship as well a
 systemd and/or /etc/init.d/tahoe script that the sysadmins can enable to
 daemonize tahoe using all this configuration paths.
