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.
