That path shouldn't be created or modified by a Debian package, so
you'll need to change the package so it conforms to Debian policy.

The FHS 2.3 describes "/srv : Data for services provided by this
system":
The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified
as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done.
... Therefore, no program should rely on a specific subdirectory
structure of /srv existing or data necessarily being stored in
/srv. However /srv should always exist on FHS compliant systems
and should be used as the default location for such data.
<URL:http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM>
So, for content served by a web server on the system, something under
'/srv' is necessary to comply with the FHS. The most obvious choice
seems to be '/srv/www'.
