The thing we were counting on is apache implementing the same policy,
but I honestly can't see this happening any time soon. *shrug*.
Anyway, as I have so much work to do, the package is in Thom's hands -
he's going to sit and wait for a sane solution, and then implement that.
Obviously this means you won't see an upload soon.

/var/web or such? But then again, doing that would still break policy.
An amendment still needs to be made.

See my first paragraph.
