What I did was just copy phpMyAdmin into /usr/local/www/data. I don't think
that breaks anything, and I don't see much benefit in messing with lots and
lots of symlinks just to keep data, data-dist, data-dist.default and
data.default...just my POV.

You could also unlink data from data-dist and make data its own directory,
keeping everything apache installed in data-dist. Thus you do not break any
scripts that rely on www/data and you can keep the installation as clear as
possible. Or you could change the DocumentRoot variable to something
completely different, I think it is just a matter of personal preference (and
lazyness :)).
