I agree that this isn't really necessary - it would just limit
the exposure during the time the user is configuring horde, before
they install the generated configuration.  

Not a problem at all if they copy-n-paste their configuration files.

Potentially a problem if they make /etc/horde/ writeable by the web
server and then never finish their configuration.
