Bug#576572: apache2.2-common: please move CustomLog directive to a conf.d fragment

[Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.15-2
Severity: minor

Somewhere between the etch and lenny versions of apache2, the following
code was added to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

# Define an access log for VirtualHosts that don't define their own logfile
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined

This is a good idea for making sure everything is logged properly out of
the box, but it caused problems for some servers like ours where we have
tons and tons of virtual hosts and were already defining an equivalent
log directive, but with slightly different options and a different location.
Because this is in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, there's no way to get rid of
it without changing that file, which then makes configuration handling on
upgrades harder.  There isn't, so far as I can tell, any way to override
this directive later on, so we're stuck with an other_vhosts_access.log
file that we don't want and have to deal with to prevent it from getting
excessively large.

Could you please move this fragment into a conf.d fragment so that it can
be easily deleted by sites that have different logging requirements?
