Hello,

we had some trouble with permissions of directories below /var/www with
custom packages installing web applications to that directory,
especially if multiple package implictly created /var/www with different
access rights.  Trying to make all this somewhat more predictable.

Multiple packages like nginx, lighttpd, and jvisu are installing things
to /var/www already, and create that path implicitly.  Make it explicit.

Let the rootfs package create that dir explicitly,
before copying anything into it.

There is an explicit installation of that directory in rootfs package.
