Is /var/cache really such a bad option? I mean, the entire web content is re-generated from templates & graphs are re-generated from the rrd databases every 5 minutes. So even if someone did delete the directory, it'll just be recreated up to 5 minutes later. > > One could ask via debconf, and suggest /var/www/munin as a default, > would that be acceptable? Users might not know a good answer such a question and will probably just stick with the defaults, so suggesting /var/www/munin will just keep the current non FHS complaint status quo.
