Yes. I tried to seek consensus with maintainers of other web servers in
Debian, and I filed a mass bug to track the state of the adoption [1].

Yes - either this (where the name "html" is an implementation detail.
With the reasoning being, that any sub directory of /var/www is needed
and html is what other distros, e.g. Red Hat use), or allow us to
use/assume a directory structure in /srv which may have a larger impact
on the FHS than /var/www.
