I don't understand. It is could be used very frequently, like
download-vulnerability-list via daily cron. It doesn't appear to be used
at installation nor deinstallation. And is not registered in PLIST either
which is vote from me to keep in VARBASE.

I may be misunderstanding this thread now though. Maybe it is not about
pkg-vulnerabilities in ${PKGVULNDIR} any more ...

(I do agree that files that are only modified during install/deinstall
could go to in libdata.)
