We have made a choice to move the non-data components of mailman to /usr/lib/mailman by changing the prefix configure parameter (the with-var-prefix remains set to /var/mailman). This is closer to what some of the other distributions do.
I like it. However, I believe that FHS recommends using /var/lib/mailman rather than /var/mailman for those components.
Per FHS 2.3: Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of /var. Such directories should only be added if they have some system-wide implication, and in consultation with the FHS mailing list.
An application (or a group of inter-related applications) must use a subdirectory of /var/lib for its data.
So, if you're going to make changes per FHS, change that one too...
Thanks, Matt
