Public bug reported:

I just did a few runs of do-release-upgrade to get from 12.04 to 14.04, just as I have been doing upgrades for some time now. ITo my surprise, one of the upgrades has wiped /var/www and overwritten it with the default data. I have kept all my www-data under /var/www/ and this directory hasn't been overwritten in previous upgrades.
 
I know I should do backups, but given this wasn't a problem in the last releases I didn't expect a problem to occur. Could the package install be modified in a way that /var/www is not overwritten if it already exists?
