Bug#710461: lintian: non-standard-apache2-module-package-name with multiple modules



Hi Russ,

I am not so sure, this is reasonably common and a good practice for
Apache modules. I'm sure there are one or two exceptions in the
archives, but that's what overrides are for.

On the downside, there is nothing to gain if you bundle modules
together, whether they are related or not, right?

I am just not sure this a behavior Lintian should endorse be remaining
quiet. On the other you, and Niels, are more into Lintian as I am, so I
guess that's more of a design decision for you.
