Issue reported by the Debian folk, but affects all distributions.
This is the first of two steps in fixing it.  New xfsdump users
will now use /var/lib path by default, but the previous location
is maintained for backward compatibility with pre-existing xfsdump
inventories.

Ivan's new xfsinvutil will be able to convert one to the other,
and also does all kinds of other nifty things.

cheers.

        - First step toward making the xfsdump inventory not break
          the FHS spec.  Previously, xfsdump wrote to /var/xfsdump
          for all its inventory data needs.  This is now a runtime
          decision - for existing installations we continue doing
          just that, for new installations we use the compliant-
          with-FHS directory /var/lib/xfsdump.  NOTE: cannot just
          mv one to the other as xfsdump is "clever" enough to keep
          full pathnames in some inventory files - this issue will
          be resolved by Ivan in an upcoming xfsinvutil checkin.
