Yes but that would be more complex than what it could seem. DokuWiki is
mostly installed to /usr/share/dokuwiki, so the Web server gets
configured to serve that directory. Now, some directories are relocated
under /var/lib/dokuwiki using symlinks:
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins -> /var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plugins
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/tpl -> /var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/tpl
So, installing bundled plugins and template under /usr seems the best
thing to do, but it would be impossible to install them under
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins and /usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/tpl since
these the two symlinks I mentionned!
Instead, they would have to be installed on other directories such as
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins.orig and
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/tpl.orig:
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins -> /var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plugins
/var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/acl ->
/usr/share/dokuwiki/lib/plugins.orig/acl
and so on.
Well, that is starting to be quite awkward, better keep it as it is with
packaged files under /var, which is not ideal but at least can be
understood by the user, while two levels of symlinks with one with an
artificial prefix would not.
