They will provided *filled in* configuration.

This is not copy-pasting but download + scp.
I agree this is awkward. We can put 3 before 2.

webmail-/groupware-install are upstream scripts. Maybe we can provide
our own script (horde-writeable-config or something) that touch and
make writable all those files (in every app)?

So the ReADME will look like:

- 1. Installaing a bundle [1] (php-horde-webmail or -groupware) and
     running the included script (webmail-install or groupware-) ; or
- 2. creating those 2 files per app owned by ww-data (done with
     the horde-writeable-config script) and configuring thru the web
     interface ; or
- 3. configuring thru the web interface +  download + chown root + chmod
