i think this is a way to go.
one thing is to choose the web server's root. Other one is to choose the
place were you want to put your things.
for example, phpsysinfo installs on /usr/share/phpsysinfo and symb links
into /var/www/phpsysinfo.
this is ok, but maybe, a better location is sysinfo or hwinfo. the
easiest way to do this without handling links is to add an alias in the
web server, which i think should be the default behaviour.
the same happens with squirrelmail. you would prefer /webmail or a
single webmail.domain.com host than domain.com/squirrelmail .
so i think all packages should come with symbolic link or the alias
option. Not to install directly on /var/www .
