Still, I don't see a clear way out of this. We are violating FHS
either for putting files in /var/www or in /srv/www or in
/srv/default-site or whatever.
What could be a course of action is that all webservers ship (as I
described I am doing earlier on) their default sites in
/usr/share/<package>/default-site, and instead of an "It works!" or
similar page, information on what steps should the user take to turn
it into something useful.
