sorry our answer took so long, but we needed to discuss questions like
this. We came up with this proposal:
If the web application can be run with a feasible out-of-box
configuration call apache2_invoke enconf unconditionally on every
"postinst configure" run.
Likewise, the configuration should be disabled on any removal (and
purge anyway), because important files may be missing (and that's the
point of package removal, anyway). Thus, you need to call
"apache2_invoke disconf" on both on removal and on purge.
In future apache2_invoke will remember stuff it removed during removal
and will reenable it during reinstall (i.e. in contrast to web
application configurations disabled by the site administrator).
n.b. the behavior on the /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper
edge is not fully functional yet. This will be changed soon.
