Hi,
I'm going to install phpmyadmin for a user on one of the webservers, but
it installs to a default dir, namely /var/www. I want it to install
into /data/www/phpmyadmin. I've searched high and low, but I haven't
found anything substancial. I can add a -o to apt-get to add
configuration options, but I haven't seen any options which state that I
can choose an installation directory, just cache and other stuff.

Is it possible to install to another directory than the default chosen
by the package developer?

Regards,
Andy

Not sure if it is what you're looking for. But did you look at
dpkg-divert?
