The FHS is pretty amusing on this topic: Distributions must take care not to remove locally placed files in these directories (/srv/*) 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. So the FHS allows a package to install files to /srv (with care), but they cannot be removed when the package is -- so it would be a very strange package that did so. It also seems to allow packages to install/remove empty directories in /srv similarly to the way policy allows in /usr/local. -- see shy jo
