Bug Description

Binary package hint: phpmyadmin

Avahi allows services to announce themselves over the network using the Zeroconf protocol. This is done by creating a .service file in /etc/avahi/services containing the details of the service.
Avahi also allows other programs to manipulate discovered services. Example given: Epiphany shows all nearby sites under Bookmarks->Nearby Sites.

I suggest to include a .service file with PHPMyAdmin to make it easier to find on the network. Not everyone knows where to search for the tool and it would be a nice service to our users.

Attached is an example .service file for phpmyadmin, which assumes PHPMyAdmin was installed in the document root of the webserver. Maybe some script should be created as well to make sure the path is always right.
(And what about HTTPS connections?)
