I haven't read GLEP 20 for some time now, so my apologies if this is
clear in my original draft.

My original intention for the srvdir USE flag was to cope with these
two situations:

a) Apps that have compile-time paths that can't be overridden w/
runtime configuration
b) Apps that have runtime configuration, which we could setup to work
with /srv out of the box.

I don't believe that it's practical to specify a layout for /srv that
fits everyone.  I use /srv/<fqdn>/<service> on some of the boxes I
look after, but some of them run /srv/<customer>/<fqdn>/<service>
instead.

Which packages do you want to add the srvdir global USE flag for?

Best regards,
Stu
