Severity: important

Lintian explains it pretty well:

"Debian packages should not install files under /var/www. This is
not one of the /var directories in the File Hierarchy Standard and is
under the control of the local administrator. Packages should not
assume that it is the document root for a web server; it is very
common for users to change the default document root and packages
should not assume that users will keep any particular setting.

Packages that want to make files available via an installed web
server should instead put instructions for the local administrator in a
README.Debian file and ideally include configuration fragments for
common web servers such as Apache.

As an exception, packages are permitted to create the /var/www
directory due to its past history as the default document root, but
should at most copy over a default file in postinst for a new
install.

Refer to FHS, chapter 5 for details.
