Both should change. Neither cern-httpd nor apache needs to conflict
with any other Web server (let alone each other). No particluar web
server should create generic-sounding directories like /var/web or
/usr/lib/httpd either. Also, the log files should have distinct names
(cern-httpd.log, apache-httpd.log or whatever). There are many many
httpd's out there. A little bit of careful design now and it will be
easier to package any of the others.
Please clean up BOTH cern-httpd and appache!

Conceptually, it is right. But practically it doesn't make any sense.
It isn't a program that is used interactively nor in scripts
(excepting start-up scripts of course).
