Like I said, that 2nd condition doesn't seem to work correctly, and comes with a false positive in sid if apache2-bin is installed (I still don't understand this).

Maybe something like (full postinst file):

=== cut ===

#!/bin/sh -e

apache_force_reload() {

if apache2ctl configtest 2>/dev/null; then

invoke-rc.d apache2 restart || true

else

echo "Your apache2 configuration is broken, please fix it and restart apache2 manually."

fi

}

if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then

if [ -e /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper ] ; then

. /usr/share/apache2/apache2-maintscript-helper

apache2_invoke enconf package.conf

elif command -v apache2 > /dev/null && apache2 -v | sed -n 's/^Server version: //p' | grep -q 'Apache/2.2'; then

ln -sf ../conf-available/package.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/package.conf

apache_force_reload

fi

#DEBHELPER#

=== cut ===

It appears to work both on wheezy and sid.

The ln -sf might be an oversimplification, will fail if the sysadmin has deleted /etc/apache2/conf.d - I consider this unlikely however.

Possibly #DEBHELPER# should come first.

It also appears that "a2enmod -q version" is not required, and generates an error, both on wheezy and sid, so I removed that comment.
