Given current Policy, you have to choose between pointing at a file installed with the package or defaulting to the upstream /srv location without there being a file there. It's not a great situation, and there was a long discussion a while back about how to address the same issue with tftp services that I think didn't arrive at a clear conclusion. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
