	Yep, there are two DB changes that depend on the filesystem. Importing
Old Charts into New Charts and moving data/nomail into the DB.

	They happen during the DB phase. They're really DB changes, so
Bugzilla::Install::DB takes care of them.

	The filesystem creation stuff happens before the DB changes, so if any
DB change depends on a file's *existence*, then that's already handled.

	If no DB change depends on a file, then it can safely be deleted in
Bugzilla::Install::Filesystem, and usually is.
