Hi,

www-data has as its home directory /var/www:

  www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

This seems about the least logical choice for this, as the www-data user
is meant to *not* own the web content. /var/www is the default location
for web content.

Better alternatives are probably /nonexistent (as for nobody) or
/var/lib/www-data if there would be some use for the user having an actual
homedir (which I'm not aware of).

(Whether it should have a shell is already discussed in #274229).


Cheers,
Thijs
