No. Either they should be excluded or diverted by postinst. The packages
are not meant to be production stuff, just as a base for someone who
wants to start through doing real packaging ;-) They are in a rough shape -
I know.
There's another problem: the apache modules directory is not set
correctly at compile time. If there's some more feedback, I'm going
to fix all these issues at the weekend and upload an updated version.

I'll have a closer look in how to handle this. Hints are welcome, since
I'm currently short on time and no debian kernel maintainer.

So do I. In fact there is no documentation on all this intermezzo stuff. For some
binaries I don't know what they do, or what their options mean. But I got it
running somehow - not ready for production yet - I guess.
So long,
