Not sure what the Linux filesystem standard has to say about it, but it seems
that /var/something (like /var/lib) is a more appropriate place. /etc is more
for user configuration, and may be mounted r/o (I actually did that once on a
specialized installation).

Well, the "standard" does in fact say something:

    var/lib/	State information. Persistent data modified by programs as they
run, e.g., databases, packaging system metadata, etc.
