Package: salt
Version: 0.12.1-1
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/3396

Upstream won't implement this, but I think Debian should:

The files in /etc/salt/pki are not configuration files in the sense
of the FHS ("local file used to control the operation of a program")
and hence do not belong in /etc.

The FHS-proper location for these auto-generated but static files is
/var/lib. I suggest that the defaults be changed to
/var/lib/salt/{master,minion}/pki.

To assist users with the migration, /etc/salt/pki could be used as
a fallback, in combination with an appropriate warning and reference
to a README file or so.
