Hi -publicity, This is a proposed entry for next debian-news: In a message to debian-devel[1] Thomas Goirand proposed relaxing or even removing some dependencies of web applications on a web server package. This would help users wanting to install such web applications in chroots, while the web server is installed only outside the chroot. During the following discussions several solutions were proposed, including dummy web server packages to be provided by Debian. It was pointed out that such dummy packages are actually very easy to create with the less known equivs[2] package.
