I think it's something the .deb package manager(s) do, since other distrobutions I have used, have been using httpd.conf back to apache 1.3. I personally don't like the way Debian does this, but I think it's easier to adjust because it's precompiled with a nice set of features. Also I think apache likes to refer to their software as httpd, not as "apache" since they have a plethora of projects and other useful software.I tried the provided .deb package and also compiled my own apache2 server and discovered the following: If you use the Debian package all configuration is done in the apache2.conf and the httpd.conf is only for compatibility reasons. If you compile your own server, all configurationfiles are in the httpd.conf.I am not sure about the version of the apache2 server in the Debian package, but I think the version used is not the newest. Maybe this difference occurs because of different versions.
