Sometimes, old bits just have to die. And it is painful. FWIW, for
Etch->Lenny upgrades, some people will go through the pain that means
no longer having Apache 1.x (as some of its modules are not available
for 2.x or not API-compatible). Should we keep obsolete, deprecated,
abandoned software forever?
Hmmm... Sounds like an argument for porting Debian to the C64.
