Bug#493252: apache-common: apache gives no reliable way to make local system configurations that play well with upgrades

[Noah Slater <nslater@bytesexual.org>]

Package: apache-common
Severity: normal

The following three global places to configure apache do not play well with dpkg:

  /etc/apache2/apache.conf - totally managed by the package
  /etc/apache2/httpd.conf  - empty, but sourced before conf.d
  /etc/apache2/conf.d      - populated by the package, hence include order not assured

There should be a place where the local system administrator can drop configuration
snippets that override the default configuration without having to worry to much
about upgrading.
