I think what I did when trying this out the other day was this:
    cd /var/www && sudo ln -s /usr/share/wordpress

Then reference the Wordpress stuff via http://localhost/wordpress/

I remember scratching my head of this and then shrugging my shoulders,
as usually Debian packages "just work" (or nearly so). There is an
/etc/wordpress/htaccess file that looks like it is supposed to end up
being modified as /var/www/.htaccess, but I couldn't see how that would
work with Wordpress as a subdirectory. If you want http://localhost/
to be your Wordpress system then I'd look at changing the definitions
related to the Document Root in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
