On the Fedora/Red Hat front, this has been debated several times within the
packaging committee, the consensus right now (as I understand it, mind you)
is that the FHS's wording of /srv usage implies that this is for
*site-specific* stuff only, and the OS (in general) shouldn't touch or
assume anything about it's structure. So, fedora currently recommends
packages follow-suit, and not put anything there, or assume anything about
it's content.
That said, I wish FHS wording were a bit more flexible to allow otherwise,
but that's how things stand atm.
