Bug#756361: The httpd virtual package should be provided by apache2, not apache2-bin
Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.10-1
Severity: important
Currently the httpd virtual package is provided by apache2-bin, but
apache2-bin does not include the configuration files and init scripts,
so it doesn't provide a working web server. The apache2 package has those
files and should be the package providing the httpd virtual package.
This is also how it is in wheezy, where httpd is provided by the mpm
packages which depend on apache2.2-common for the configuration files
and init scripts.
I set the severity to important because web applications that depend
on httpd currently won't work with only apache2-bin installed. See
also the following thread on debian-devel about this:
