I'm strongly against this change, and as the inn-current maintainer refuse
to make it (and won't let it go in).
There's a large installed base of inn users that will get screwed the next
time they upgrade if you do this. Given that inn is the dominant news system
and /explicitly changed/ to follow this new format, I think you're making
a mistake trying to move backwards in time.
If that's not enough, I *like* the inn directory layout. Inn is a standalone
subsystem.

According to Satoshi Asami:

Well, it depends :-)
I'd say now, after a few experiences:
- /usr/local/news/bin binaries
- /usr/local/news/sbin "system" binaries (innd, nnrpd)
- /usr/local/news/lib config. files (inn.conf, newsfeeds, and so on).
- /news spool partition(s)
- /var/news active & history (big files)
YMMV.
