Bug#711127: apache2.2-bin transitional package (binaries only) should not depend on apache2 package (which runs a system daemon)



Package: apache2.2-bin
Version: 2.4.4-5
Severity: grave

The apache2.2-bin package formerly supplied only the binaries for the
Apache web server, and notably did *not* run a systemwide apache daemon.
However, the new apache2.2-bin transitional package depends on both
apache2-bin (the equivalent binaries-only package) and apache2 (the
system daemon package).  Please don't do that; that will cause systems
with only apache2.2-bin installed to suddenly end up with a running
system web server after upgrade.

(I debated whether to open this as grave or just important, but I don't
think the new transitional package should transition to testing with
this bug present.)
