Patching them is overkill, it would be an example of the unnecessary 
patching we do not want in Arch. I would keep them self-contained, no 
matter which solution will be used in the end. I wouldn't even have such 
a big problem with having configuration in 
/usr/share/www/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php or so.

In any way, filling /srv with data from pacman is a bad idea, /home and 
/srv should be user territory only.
