Well, that's a reasonable question.  To address /var/bugzilla specifically, FHS
forbids it:

Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of /var. Such
directories should only be added if they have some system-wide implication, and
in consultation with the FHS mailing list.

If it had to be in /var, /var/lib/bugzilla would be better.  Here's what FHS has
to say about /var and /srv:

/var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and files,
administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary files.

/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system.

Seems to me like /srv is more appropriate.  And in any case I'm just following
gallery2's lead, which was packaged by the same person (John Berninger).  I
assume he'll chime in with why he chose that location and what he'd like to do
about this package.
