Then again, as much as I love packages, I think they are totally stupid for web programs (too many variances in where people like to put their web trees). But that's another issue altogether.Distros can standardise on those things though and provide packages that meet the standard.
Standardize on what things? The fact that my web pages exist at /var/www/example.com/html/ for virtual domains on my servers that hold virtual domains, or /var/www/secure_html/ on my mythweb server? What about people who want /var/www/example.com/mythtv/ for their mythweb setup? The point is that webmasters, not distros, choose their setups, and every webmaster I've dealt with seems to have their own way of doing things.
But that's just my personal bias. I love packages, but as a webmaster who maintains a variety of different setups, they don't work for anything but the most simplistic web tree setups. Plus, as we've seen here, some web packages (mythweb) often have some (often optional) setup stuff that packagers can't/don't do, and people don't always know that packages usually toss things like INSTALL and README files in alternate locations.
