Alexis, with all respect, you have send out this mail after only 2 days you have tried to contact me in private and i had no time to answer. I find a bit annoying that you jump to conclusion so fast.
I understand that there is a possible request for your packages, but as I already explained to you, adding another flavour of apache is not necessarely simple.
Also, I was going to ask you to discuss the security history of lingerd together with out security team as next step.
If we need to add this flavour, we need to know first if it has any security complication or bad security history.
Did you also consider to start creating patches for all modules so that they can use lingerd?
As personal opinion I need to agree with Tollef, that apache1.3 is basically a dead package and it might get removed from Debian after Sarge is released. That means providing only security support to it.
Are you ready to give such commitment to your package? What I really don't want is to endup maintaing another flavour on my own and i guess this is the same for the other memebers of the team.
