Issue: On any post-install action originating from a install, update or dpkg-reconfigure, the packages creates a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf and enables this configuration with "a2ensite" (which effectively symlinks it to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled). While this may be confortable for unexperienced users, that do not care about their apache config, this is actually causing a lot of trouble in more sophisticated apache environments. 1. The config generated ("mythweb.conf") is no site-config (containing no virtual-hosts). Thus it belongs to /etc/apache2/conf-available rather than /etc/apache2/sites-available). 2. The config is forcefully enabled on every post-install run (incl. updates!), regardless of whether the system admin decided (for whathever reason) to disable the mythweb configuration or handling this in a different way. In fact, mythweb is enabled for every (!) site (virtual-host) served by apache this way. I would suggest the following changes: - Please honor Debian's way of configuring apache and create the mythweb configuration in /etc/apache2/conf-available. - Do not re-enable this config on any update or reconfigure, if it was disabled before. Prefered alternative: Provide a debconf option, that disabled any apache configuration entirely.
