I can understand the concern about loss. However, /usr/share/ is for packages. This is where packages put things. This is essentially a web app installed and maintained by the nginx-common package. It is *not* a configuration file. There is no need to handle it as if it were a configuration file.
Let's look at every other package that sticks an app in /usr/share. I'm only going to pick one - phpmyadmin. If you modify /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/export/mediawiki.php and then upgrade, your changes are gone. That's expected behavior. Users/admins should *NOT* be screwing with /usr/share. That's why this file is there... it's managed by the package and NOT the user. That's also part of the reason why we don't stick the symlink for the default site back into sites-enabled once it's removed. I strongly disagree with the severity change. However, I'll leave it as I feel we should just close this as wontfix. Someone incorrectly using /usr/share isn't our issue to fix.
