not all apache configurations do, unfortunately.  anything using=20
apache <=3D 2.0 still uses a monolithic httpd.conf.  it looks like
wwwconfig-common doesn't support apache2/conf.d just yet, so we'd
have to do that ourselves (or send a patch to ola, which i could
do).  however, for monolithic apache configs i'll still argue
that wwwconfig-common is the way to go.  perhaps we could do
something like=20

for server in $installed_apache_servers; do
	if [ -d /etc/$server/conf.d ]; then
		#symlink for apache2 code
	else
		#wwwconfig-common code
	fi
done

i think the admin should be prompted via debconf whether they'd
like to have it enabled (high priority, default: false)[1], and they
should be able to select the httpd's on which to enable it (low
priority, default: all).  most of the prompting can be done in
the .config script, though the detecting of installed apache servers
may have to wait until the postinst to ensure dependencies are
installed.

i'll give nagios-text a shot tonight.

sure thing.

that's the funniest changelog entry i've ever read.

[1] the rationale for the priority/default is that packages should not
    modify configs of other packages by default, and there's a chance the
    admin might miss a medium question.
