Sussed it – I had an underscore which should have been a hyphen somewhere…….

Hi Martin,
I'm speaking as a Debian Developer here...
Packages in the official Debian archive generally don't ship files that
go into /var. This rule is broken by a a few packages, but even then
it's preferred that only empty directories or symlinks are placed in
/var. It's often better to populate things into /var from maintainer
scripts (e.g. postinst), which can work out whether or not to clobber
user data in /var based on various conditions.
Clearly, if this package isn't going into the archive, you can do
whatever you like.
Given the output of your package's file listing, I suspect the /var data
just isn't making it into the package in the first place. How is the
package being built? There are many ways to build .deb packages, and
it'll be down to these tools what or how files get into your package.
Cheers,
Chris

Perhaps it was just a grep for lines that are not comments?
egrep -v "^#" <filename>

Hi all,
To those of you that use RiseUp services (eg. me), I just wanted to let
you know that it is looking very likely that the riseup servers have
been issued a gag order and should be considered compromised.
The Riseup Canary has died/expired/not been renewed:
https://riseup.net/en/canary and there is other suspicious activity/lack
of activity which is being widely discussed on the internet without
Riseup making any response to such discussions.
Regards,
Yousef
