It is a choice the .rpm/.deb packagers made for you.  If you installed from the 
sourceforge tarball, the install script would let you pick any location for 
archive directory and make the necessary changes which (pre-3.1) involve more

Just make a symlink at /var/lib/backuppc pointing to the actual location.  But 
you can only do this at the top level - the pc and pool/cpool directories still 
have to be on the same filesystem for the links to work.
