Wouldn't it be better to make it put the files somewhere under
/var/lib/pgadmin? Seems like a more reasonable location for server-side
pgadmin. And upstream might want to make that "easily modifiable by
packagers" so it can be adapter to whatever distro it's being packaged on?
Surely it's wrong to store metadata file in /usr/share...
