If you install Koha with the 'dev' option, you can't select the value
of $KOHA_USER and KOHA_GROUP variables.
The installer force you to use the values 'koha', 'koha'.

In fact is not a big bug, if you use a different user/group name you need only to
correct by hand 2 lines of the scripts
misc/bin/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh
misc/bin/koha-pazpar2-ctl.sh
misc/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh

I send a patch about it that is only a warning during installation.
I think that 'dev' option is for few user, that they are more expert
of average.

For the dev and single installation modes, I think it would be better to have the default user and group come from the current login, and have the 'koha' default be for the standard mode installation.

In fact the patch that I have send to patches@koha.org
changes only a text section of Makefile.PL.
It is only a minimal work.

So do I need to discard the patch ?
I can't write a patch about this bug for the release of 3.0.2
So I can try to fix it for 3.0.3

I set this to resolved-wontwix assuming that it is obsolete/ not valid for recent versions of Koha. Feel free to reopen if this assumption is incorrect.
