I don't think you are correct:

In
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM
the last sentence about /srv says:

--begin quote -----------------
Distributions must take care not to remove locally placed files in these 
directories without administrator permission. [20]

[20]

This is particularly important as these areas will often contain both files 
initially installed by the distributor, and those added by the administrator.
--end quote -----------------


So, as I read it, /srv is clearly designed for files from the distribution and 
locally added ones.


regards,
        Holger
