Just because there's an 'exception' doesn't mean it's ok to do it. This exception is in place because, in the past, it was the 'de facto' place to put web content. Because of how packages work, it's no longer normal to place content in this location.
It is a policy violation because /var/www is not part of the standard Linux directory hierarchy. There is no need to violate this policy and use a lintian override as you suggested because how things are done now is the proper way to do it. For the above reasons, we have no intention of changing the default behavior. If you still feel this is in error, please explain why you feel it is so important that we place Nginx files at this location.
