> Why can't we put something in /var/www? It's where we normally put Bugzilla.

The naive answer is because the packaging guidelines indicate that it's not the
proper place; see the end of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines.
  The point is that once this is in Extras it's essentially a system component,
and the system shouldn't install important pieces of itself into /var.

RPM has no way to indicate this kind of either-or requirement; it's probably
simpler to just install both unless we can somehow make two subpackages,
bugzilla-postgres and bugzilla-mysql that provide bugzilla-db and pull in the
necessary Perl modules for each specific database.  I doubt it's worth it.
