Bug#620347: conf.d/" should really be "Include conf.d/*.conf"

[Heiko Schlittermann <hs@schlittermann.de>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.16-6+squeeze3
Severity: normal


The same problem arises with files managed by "ucf", which is
a debian provided tool. (For cfengine manged files could be the excuse, 
that it's not nativly Debian…)

I consider it a serious bug, since in a normal scenario the local
admin may change a config under /etc/apache2/conf.d, the next
package update may find it and place a new file as
/etc/apache2/conf.d/xxx.ucf-new.

It shouldn't be too hard to ask packages naming their files
/etc/apache2/conf.d/xxx.conf AND changing apaches default config into
include conf.d/*.conf

Thank you.
