Hi,

Well, a rebuild should be carried out in every architecture - And it
should be done against the current versions. And once updated, it will
be incompatible with the previous versions (I'm unsure which is the
one which complicts, if it is apache2 or libapache2-mod-perl2). I
think it's cleaner to do a regular source NMU.

About Apache2: Well, it can work with Apache 1.3.x as well. It can
even work offline (I use it offline in one app, now that I think of
it). So, strictly, it depends on nothing but Perl.

Umh... I'm away from home for the weekend - And network from here is
shitty as it is. I'll try to check it tomorrow, but no real promises. 

...Strange :-/ I don't know where that bit came from :-/
