I think that my timing for this discussion is off. I realize you are
all very busy fixing much more important things to prepare for the
next release. I should have been playing around more seriously with
all the apache packages three months ago.
I really appreciate the apache package. I think that it is a very well
maintained package that has one of the best README.Debian files I've
looked at.
Many of my thoughts may have little value for the next release after
Sarge if apache2 becomes standard and doesn't grow a tail (eg
apache2-perl) and apache fades away.
If it looks like apache (1.3) will still be around for the release
after Sarge or if apache2-perl does grow a tail I'll return to this
thought at least a few months after Sarge releases.
