Hello,
as subject says, in postinst the looking for presency of mounted "/proc" could 
be a nice improvements for this package, otherwise could not be installed in 
chroots without /proc mounted, and since debian-live should not mount /proc 
because could leave with a chroot where proc could not be umounted, here it 
is why I filed this bug.

Furthermore this is a nice package that should be available in standard 
debian-live images, and etch is approaching :-)

Thanks for your patience, best regards.

This is a bug in debian-live, then, not in apache.  As a man who,
incidentally, writes livecd-building scripts for a living, I can tell
you that it's not rocket science to get /proc mounted in your target
chroot while installing packages and then, y'know, unmount it when
you're done.

If you're concerned about the build script dying and leaving things
mounted in the chroot, I've heard talk of shell functions like "trap"...
I'm sure that if a moron like me can figure out how it works, a
sufficiently clever person can probably do so as well.
