Hi,
I totally second this bug report. Reading things like:
Currently plugins and themes need to be dropped in by root into:
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content
Is not really serious I believe..
The usual thing done in other webapp package I maintain (mediawiki, spip and
roundcube),
is to split the directories and files that have to be modified and move then to
/var.
("Purpose
/var contains variable data files."
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE31)
Then, in order to make it consistent, you just have to make symlinks from /var
to the
files and directories in /usr and vice-versa. For instance, for mediawiki:

That way, /var/lib/mediawiki is the main directory where the webserver should
be configured,
but static files and data are located in /usr...
Additionally, you can give the correct rights to the files in /var (www-data)
so that the
automatic uploads and etc. work out of the box..
