It only pulls the Apache binaries; the system Apache daemon shouldn’t be
started.

Note that we could probably use lighttpd instead, but AFAIK the WebDAV
implementation is not as complete, and it is lacking the Avahi module.

Well, I’d say that’s more an Apache problem.

If enough people complain, I guess we’ll have to move it to gnome. I’d
like to stick gnome-desktop-environment to the upstream distribution,
but after the anti-games, the anti-Mono, now we have anti-Apache
people :/

Also, now that tasksel installs Recommends by default, maybe we’re going
to put more things in this field.

Cheers,
