The footnote makes it clear, that you are right.

Using /srv for both, files installed by the distributor and files
installed by the administrator, doesn't seem to be a sane solution, at
least in my perspective.  Anyway, discussing the FHS isn't be helpful
here.

| Distributions must take care not to remove locally placed files in
| these directories without administrator permission.

This is also respected, but leads to files remaining in /srv/cvs after
installing cvs and purging it afterwards.

Creating /srv/cvs without administrator permission is still buggy (if
anyone disagrees, please change the severity to wishlist).
