That's correct. Furthermore the FHS supports different hierarchies
below /srv depending on the site's needs. For example a server hosting
project1.org and project2.org would use

/srv/project1.org/www and
/srv/project2.org/www

So /srv should be kept free of any package bits. I'm copying the
packaging list, perhaps it's worth noting in the guide.
