I wasn't aware Debian already exported a directory for this.  (But
"/javascripts", really?)  It would be nice if they wrote that into
their policy.

We still need something for CSS frameworks and such, but maybe we
could drop the underscore and have:
/sysassets/ -> for CSS, theming, etc.
/javascripts/ -> for JS

The httpd maintainer would really prefer if we didn't use something
that could potentially conflict as easily as "/javascripts" though.
Not sure if "Debian does it" is a good enough reason to override
that...
