While I have no objection to adding multiple web servers, this is a
bogus argument. Someone looking at webserver implementations can grab
source from the upstream site. Having Debian binary packages available
is unnecessary for this purpose.

OTOH, I think it would be completely reasonable for the security team to
object.
