Details

The current bugzilla install method either requires it to be installed as root
(so chown works in checksetup.pl) or as a regular user. The lack of a defined
bugzilla user makes it necessary for permissions to be lax for certain
directories inside $BUGZILLA_HOME/data/ as per bug 71555. 

Adding a bugzilla user to localconfig would be a major improvement in this sense.
