Well, actually, I think that whole webapps structure in gentoo should be 
dropped or totally rewritten, despite of web applications packages state in 
the gentoo repo.
It is unextendable, uncomfortable, no-gentoo-way'ish and so on.

I think, it would even be better to just install apps in /usr/share/${PF} than 
current webapp behaviour.
 

And, talking ontopic, I think let it (postfixadmin) be dropped.
Anyone interested (like me) will just fetch tarballs directly from upstream, 
and upgrade in usual way, without webapps black magic and sacrificing virgins.

Actually I quite like the way webapp-config works. Some improvements
are needed but nothing major. I would particularly like to see nginx
configuration snippets dynamically generated for a slightly more
out-of-the-box experience. There also doesn't seem to be a way to
protect configuration files containing sensitive credentials from local
users.
