I have a question about php packaging : should packages have a default install procedure in them to get at the end of the installation a <a href="http://localhost/package/" target="_blank">http://localhost/package/</a> (for example ampache or scuttle do this). As far as the FreedomBox is concerned I think this would be handy but am not sure if it is recommended or frowned about by debian.<br>

This is documented in Debian Policy §11.5:<br>

4. Web Document Root<br>
Web Applications should try to avoid storing files in the Web<br>
Document Root. Instead they should use the<br>
/usr/share/doc/<package> directory for documents and register the<br>
Web Application via the `doc-base' package. If access to the web<br>
document root is unavoidable then use<br>
/var/www<br>
as the Document Root. This might be just a symbolic link to the<br>
location where the system administrator has put the real document<br>
root.<br>
