This has to be done in preinstall phase and i cannot be sure that a shared
template is in place at that time of the installation process so i need to
replicate the template for each apache.
A similar problems applies to the other templates that ask for port,
documentroot, servername and serveradmin. Using a shared template here is
dangerous and extremely complex because it would require the use of the
unseen flag. (quite difficult to handle without hitting users feelings
and yes i did try it without a good success)
