It's not proper to create directories outside of STAGEDIR in 
post-install.

If you want to create a directory at install time then it is now done in
the plist-plist as an @exec.

Something like this (untested, this is frequently problematic creating 
dirs
outside PREFIX):

@cwd /
@exec install -d /var/db/fail2ban
@dirrmtry /var/db/fail2ban
