I think encoding this directory into a package default violates the FHS
requirements for /srv, although I'm not sure.  It's hard for me to tell
where the line should be drawn.  Distribution packages are not allowed to
assume anything about the layout and organization of /srv, since that's
reserved for the local administrator.  But I don't know if offering a
default via debconf constitutes making assumptions.

BTW, you should probably open a bug against debian-policy for this so that
we can start tracking it.
