Bug#676610: silently ignores config files with a colon in its name

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.de>]

Hi Stefan,

I really would prefer if apache behaves as it is described in
upstream's documentation. Their recommendation is to avoid

	Include /somedir/

completely, and to use something like

	Include /somedir/*.conf
or
	IncludeOptional /somedir/*.conf

to avoid conflicts with editor backups instead. Sounds
reasonable to me. A lot of other Debian packages use
*.conf for their config files as well. _And_ it gives
the user the freedom to introduce its own naming scheme.

I surely agree that this is not an issue for Squeeze. It
would be nice if you could keep this bug report open to
fix this for Wheezy.


Many thanx
