Bug#392799: Having the need to have "/proc" mounted in postinst halts installations in chroots, hence in debian-live.

Ok, I resign this "battle".

But I think that it is not a clean way to proceed in a "create live 
environment" sense of a package, /proc filesystem means the "current hardware 
and kernel system" pack of informations and not a "generic debian system" 
informations nor an "hardwareless" or "kernelless" pack of information, so 
even if apache2 team wont fix this bug, asking to have /proc installed have 
only meanings of "current system" installs, not a generic one. So this bug is 
valid for all packages that requires /proc to finish the installation.

This issue is not blocking debian-live, I admit, but is blocking a "clean and 
nice" way to do system administration, and since the fix could be easy, why 
not provide it?

If I dig maintainers scripts and provide a patch, could that be integrated 
asap or will just be a useless effort by me?
