so I replaced DatabaseMirror by PrivateMirror which results in:

```
-> ^remote_cvdhead: file not found: http://update.dfn-cert.de/daily.cvd
```

When specifiying the update-db parameter the paths specified in
DatabaseCustomURL are used.

In case there is nothing further to add, I would like to file an
upstream bug report. I'll document relevant changes here.

Indeed, I would like to place the databases somewhere other than
document root.

Cheers,
