Visibility: error

Debian packages should install nothing into /srv.

The specification for /srv states that its use is at the discretion of the local administrator. No package should rely on a particular layout.

Debian packages that install files there are unable to adjust to any local policy. They force a local administrator's hand.

If a package wishes to place data below /srv, it must do so in a way that permits the local administrator to select the folder (for example, through post-install configuration, setup scripts, debconf promps, or similar).

For more information please consult:

/srv : Data for services provided by this system (Section 3.17) in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
