I don't think this can happen in the debian land, unfortunately. Debian packages
are not supposed to install anything to /srv
The closest thing I could find highlighting it is this lintian tag[1]

This should be trivial to fix, however I do not have time to do that
at the moment.
@Andrius, if you are reading this, could you please make according changes in d/links?

Maybe something is messed in the config files, again no time to check.
I only chimed in to get the package building, and did not check on the rest of
the things, unfortunately I am out of time now, sorry :(
