[php-maint] Bug#601243: php5-fpm: fails to install via aptitude if /var/www does not exist

[Donald von Stufft]

Package: php5-fpm
Version: 5.3.3-1
Severity: important

When attempting to install php5-fpm via aptitude -t experimenta install php5-fpm
if the directory /var/www does not exist then an error will be thrown (see below).
This is simple enough to workaround (mkdir -p /var/www). I am using the nginx 
webserver which does not create the /var/www directory.

The error message is:
