One problem with the above, is that it is written for the admin, not a user who stumbles
across the page.

How about the following:
  <p>This is the default web page installed by the Debian package of the Roxen web server.
  It is the responsibility of the administrator of the machine to replace it with
  a local page.

  <p><strong>If you encounter this page when you were expecting some other content, you
  should report it to the administrator of the machine.</strong> Please note that
  this machine is not affiliated with Debian. Debian is software installed on the
  machine. Do not report problems with this site to Debian.

  <p>Debian is a free operating system for your computer.
  See our <a href="http://www.debian.org/";> web page</a> for more information.
  Information about the Roxen web server can be found on
  <a href="http://www.roxen.com/";>their home page</a>.
  For information and downloading The Debian package of Roxen please take a look at the
  <a href="http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/web/roxen.html";>Roxen package page</a>.

I like the plug for Debian. Note that the www.roxen.com doesn't resolve.
Someone forget to pay the bill for their domain?

The above is rambles too much, but should be a good start.
