Without any feedback from debian-policy I might add.

Policy doesn't talks about `Web servers'. Are you trying to argue that
apache2 is not a webserver, just because it does not provide a specific
virtual package (which policy does not even mention I might add)?

No, because the admin isn't braindead and would put him elsewhere.
Personally I put everything in /vhost/<hostname>/<mail,http,etc/> for
example and have the default vhost (which isn't accessibly except
from localhost) point to the standard debian locations (ie /var/www
and /usr/lib/cgi-bin).
