I agree that this is an inconsistency, but that's what I found in
lib/setup.php and also in the mentioned posting. Let me know if
that is the correct setting now and I will change it.

class OC_Setup {
        public static function install($options) {
                $error = array();
                $dbtype = $options['dbtype'];

                if(empty($options['adminlogin'])) {
                        $error[] = 'Set an admin username.';
                }
                if(empty($options['adminpass'])) {
                        $error[] = 'Set an admin password.';
                }
                if(empty($options['directory'])) {           ### <<<
                        $error[] = 'Specify a data folder.';
                }
