Priorities

high Questions that don't have a reasonable default.
debconf(7)
There is no release requirement that a package be installable when
high-priority debconf questions are skipped.

That would still result in an unusable package if the webserver chosen in
the debconf interface is not the one actually installed; so there's no
reason that mkdir (postponing the failure) is inherently preferable to an
immediate failure in the maintainer script.
Of course, the debconf default should probably at least be changed to match
the dependency default (i.e., apache2).
