d /var/empty 755 root root - d /var/db 755 root root - d /var/spool/mail 775 root root - L /var/mail - root root - spool/mail These are a part of filesystem. However they must be recreated in case of rm -rf /var. Volatile systems and stuff.
(In reply to Hristo Venev from comment #0) > d /var/spool/mail 775 root root - > L /var/mail - root root - spool/mail I'd rather not go into the business of providing mail directories. Some poeple use Maildirs in /home, many systems don't do mail at all. If anything, filesystem package should carry this configuration, since they have those directories in the rpm. > d /var/db 755 root root - This is useless by itself, any user will have to create a subdirectory underneath this anyway. > d /var/empty 755 root root - Same here. > These are a part of filesystem.

This helps avoid discrepancies.
As Zbigniew already pointed out, packages should provide relevant tmpfiles.d snippets.
