"/srv/tftp" would be the right place, wouldn't it?
I thought /srv was managed similar to /opt and /home so that it should
not be filled with data from the package management system. I may
be mistaken.

From that url:

] However /srv should always exist on FHS compliant systems
] and should be used as the default location for such data.

Basically, the distro can put stuff there, but needs to respect the admin's wishes. If the admin rm's it, mv's it, or whatever, that action shouldn't get undone on a dist-upgrade. (If the admin does do any of that, she'll need to change any config files that reference the location too, of course)
