[Bug 1194074] Re: Default index.html blindly overwritten

[JKL]

Irrespective of what the default document root is, whether it is
/usr/share/nginx/www or /var/www/html, the issue in this bug report is
whether a user should expect to be able to modify the index.html file in
the default document root and have those changes respected.

If your answer is that the default document root isn't a place that a
user can put files, because certain files will be destroyed by package
updates, than I put to you this question: what is the point of having a
default document root in the first place?

I submit that everything installed under the default document root
should be marked as a configuration file in the package, so that user
modifications will be respected. I can't think of any good reason not to
do things that way, regardless of what you think the document root
should be.

Will Ubuntu fix the package, or does it need to be done by the Debian
maintainer?
