I think a superior approach (for any web server that Debian packages)
would be to leave /var/www, /usr/lib/cgi-bin and so on as the default
locations, and invent a new default location for non-default virtual
servers.

Ideally this would be the same across all Linux distributions (or even
further afield, but that might be too much to hope for), rather than
being a unilateral Debian invention.
