Mailman has two main configuration paths, $prefix for immutable code,
etc. and $var_prefix for mutable data. By default, $var_prefix =
$prefix, but in your case, you or the packager whose package you
installed configured mailman with $prefix=/usr/lib/mailman and
$var_prefix=/var/lib/mailman. This is not unusual.

I referred to $prefix rather than $var_prefix in a prior reply only
because that was the term you used.
