i know that managing the list of loadable modules and package-related
apache configuration settings is a rather difficult thing to do, and i
think that it's caused headaches for package maintainers and users
alike.

so i'm wondering, is there any reason not to use a conf.d approach
for apache?  you could say something like

Include conf.d/*.conf

in httpd.conf, and then all a package has to do is drop a file in
/etc/apache-*/conf.d and reload the web server.  no modules-config
(which has a misleading name anyways), no wwwconfig, no maintainer
scripts mucking with users config files.  

what do you think?
