Indeed, I'm quite disappointed about apache 1.3 still being in Etch.
Debian is the _only_ distribution still shipping it; the maintainers
couldn't provide _any_ valid reason to still include it (like an important
module not ported to 2.x) and claimed that they would provide all security
updates for 1.3 issues. Well...

Cheers,
