Sorry This one thing is something else I used elsewhere. It is a misstatement (Is that word there in English?). You could link some subdirs of these dirs, of course, but it goes to a shared partition. (My /var/local/log is linked to somewhere in /usr/local/*.) The point is that /var tends to grow in time, and /tmp grows during sessions. Keep space for it.
