Disclaimer: I know nothing about FAI

So long as the files aren't shipped in the .deb, and only put in /srv
when an admin runs the tool, then I think that is exactly the place for
them to go.  My only worry was that fai-setup was being invoked
automatically, or that the files were being proposed to be shipped in
the .deb.  Both of those scenarios would be wrong.
