One would assume the Apache Debian packager is on this list, perhaps they
would like to comment as to why they do this, but I suspect they will not.
Nothing beats the source install, if you screwup it takes seconds to
revert to previous version and you know you are using just that version.
I do think we are getting off topic now, but my question stands (not that
I use Debian on servers, I always believe in using non-butchering OS's,
like Slackware, on *all* servers, critical and non critical)

Not to add to the hijack, but I hear ya brother. I've been trying to
get a local HTTPd/bugzilla set up for the last two weeks. I tried using
the Ubuntu/Debian packages and not only do they splay files (seemingly)
wherever they feel like it, they change the names so that the online
product doc is almost worthless. I love ubuntu and have great respect
for the work the volunteers do, but I don't think this is their best
effort.

Hi:
I don't want to hijack this thread, but since the question has been
answered, I have a related one...WHY does the Debian distro 'relocate'
things such as apache? Since I've been getting into the guts of
Debian and Ubuntu over the last 2-3 years, I am finding a lot of 'non
standard' things that drive me nuts when trying to solve a problem. I
consider myself a fairly knowledgable Unix user/developer (at least,
back in the bad old days) and some of the changes I've seen in the
Debian/Ubuntu distros make me scratch my head and say Why? For
example, their use of bin, and sbin, and root being acquired by
'sudo'..
Just curious...
