I´m also in favor. But first some things to have in mind.

I could try to get an apt repository for the PhpPgAdmin (and the PgAdmin) rpm
packages, to make it easier to install.

Don´t use virtual hosts? Or maybe yes. I´m not sure on this.

/var/www/phppgadmin would be OK. Why would a non-experience user want to
diferent versions of phpPgAdmin. Experienced users can deal by there selfs with
the problem of setting a virtual host.

I don´t know, it was just what thought when reading the mail. Maybe someone
could justify the use of virtual hosts.

I hope we can have an "apt-get install pgadmin phppgadmin" :-)
