bugzilla 2.18.1 in cooker

[Guillaume Rousse]

There is a bugzilla package in cooker (mandriva development
distribution). The spec file and applied patches can be found at
http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS/bugzilla/

As Debian people, we try to enforce FHS setup even for web applications.
I think they are several advantages that could even be interesting for
upstream developpers:
- added security, as there is no need to deny access to content that is
not exposed under a web root
- easier way to find modules by relying on perl standard loading
mechanism, instead of relying on file position (see the problems in for
contrib)

I'm perfectly aware however this kind of setup break platform
interoperability, and is not adapted to upstream concerns. However, we
may eventually found some intermediate step that would help packagers
without crippling developers concerns ?

For instance, the current archive is quite ugly: I don't see the point
of shipping CVS files, and files with non-standard perms, thus needing
to be corrected later during installation. This should be done beforehand.
