Right now they have .db extension but they are just JSON files.

Can be done in backward compatible way. (check for .db but default to .json)

Might make sense to make this change along with #57, so that there's only one release with this sort of breaking changes.

It does not have to be breaking. A simple check of old location if new one fails is sufficient to provide backward compatibility.

It doesn't, but it makes the entire change set easier if we pool up all these changes to one larger "move from misuing /usr to proper /var and /etc".
