Agreed. That's why, for example, on two servers that also run various
websites, we have /var/www/$hostname/ for the document root and
/etc/apache/vhost for the particular configuration. I guess that currently
fits best with the current way Debian handles it. However, still, placing
websites/applications into /var/www directly wouldn't have the desired
outcome of the package, but we could easily alias it into any vhost we
like.
