I'm in disagreement on this interpretation and given the fact that no
other packages (that I can find) pre-install anything into /srv.

I understand it as /srv is a location for site specific data that is
intended to be independent of the packaging system.

There is a lintian error specifically for it:

http://lintian.debian.org/tags/dir-or-file-in-srv.html

So if we really do move to /srv we'll need a debconf question for it,
create the directories, permissions and such from postinstall if the
administrator agrees to it.  Also would need to support modifying where
the default database stores it.

Title:
  Default Storage Groups should be in /srv/mythtv instead of
  /var/lib/mythtv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  According to FHS, we should be using /srv for the type of data we are
  storing rather than /var/lib. /srv is not wiped on live cd upgrade, so
  it has no relevance to that bug
