but will be served by apache/nginx that will be readed by www-data on debian/ubuntu causing a 403 on the request on most installations

I don't think they can be set to www-data when Mediagoblin is running as the mediagoblin user. That user shouldn't have root permissions on the machine, and it's not possible for a non-root user to change the owner of a file.

However, if the files aren't being created with permissions that enables www-data to read them, that is an issue.

This does not happen when following the installation instructions (verified on Ubuntu 14.04).
