If they are configuration /var/lib looks appropriate. Though it is for transient files or data only ( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.1.html ) /usr is read only and shareable so it is an issue if configuration is embeded in the files (and one want a different configuration for each of the hosts). http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.1.html Well i quoted the fhs for both of these as /var and /usr are pretty standard nowadays and a lot of scripts and administrators rely on those prerequesites long before it was normalized . The newest FHS (2.3) would be for /var : http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#THEVARHIERARCHY Some portions of /var are not shareable between different systems. For instance, /var/log, /var/lock, and /var/run. Other portions may be shared, notably /var/mail, /var/cache/man, /var/cache/fonts, and /var/spool/news. /var is specified here in order to make it possible to mount /usr read-only. Everything that once went into /usr that is written to during system operation (as opposed to installation and software maintenance) must be in /var.

A "configuration file" is a local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary." We have a lot of "code" in etc , a lot of config file use a language of some sort (even /etc/profile and Xsession use shell ...). Hope it helps ... i vote for /etc , then /var and /usr . Alban PS: i am not debian DD and only tell from what i have seen , not from packaging experience :( /srv would fit (your your binaries looks like webapps ) though files there cannot be purged by packages scripts .... and it is not implemented in debian by now.
