Incorrect use of /usr/share

[lkiesow]

The Audiobookshelf Debian package configures /usr/share/audiobookshelf/… to be used for binary files as well as for variable state information. This violates the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard which states for (/usr/share) architecture-independent data

The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files.

Based on the FHS, I suggest the following changes:

• The binary is not architecture-independent and should go to /usr/bin (that's where I would put it) or maybe to /usr/lib.
• Variable state information (config, metadata, …) should go into /var/lib/audiobookshelf

Looking at /usr/share/audiobookshelf after an installation right now:

# ls -1d /usr/share/audiobookshelf/*
/usr/share/audiobookshelf/audiobookshelf
/usr/share/audiobookshelf/config
/usr/share/audiobookshelf/metadata
