I just upgraded from ~10.10 (it was stuck, un-upgradeable) to 12.04 by installing over the top of the existing installation.
The home folder and desktop files all seem to still be present, as expected, but the /var/www directory is gone!
A file system search doesn't turn anything up, looking for "www".
Apache doesn't seem to be installed anymore either.
Does the installer really delete the entire folder?

Using some of the file system tools (debugfs, extundelete, ext2grep) I can see the deleted www directory. However, it looks like that deletion combined with the operating system upgrade ruined any chances of recovering the directory.
