[Patch] Add errordir to Debian Layout.

This fixes PR10067. However, this is a fix for the symptom rather than the
cause, I think. Fundamentally, going into a system's htdocs dir and blowing
away anything called CVS is a big mistake. It doesn't make allowances for
all number of things, including the fact that the domains the server is
hosting could come straight out of cvs and access to CVS directories is
merely denied by rule, etc.
I'm going to send another patch that will need testing with non-GNU versions
of find that I think may implement a better way of doing this.
Cheers,
-Thom

Sorry Thom, I didn't see this post until just now. (I saw the bug
report first and just went to fix that. :)

I did see your later post and did note you in the CHANGES. Thanks
for the patch.
