The reason is that I use Debian and /var/www is just Debian's default folder (and herewith apache's). You can basically put your code wherever you like. But you shouldn't put your code beneath apache's document root (document_root is a setting in the apache.conf). My docroots are configured individually at in the virtual host config: / var/www/site1,site2,…. So /var/www/django is save!
