I meant http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664514 The packaging guidelines linked from the last statement in this bug [1] say: <-- snip --> ... Moreover, web applications should not declare dependencies against the apache2 HTTP server only. Many web applications may work with other web servers, too. Therefore they should recommend(!) supported alternatives by declaring packaging relationships like this: Recommends: apache2 | other_web_servers_you_support | httpd Note, we do not have a strong opinion whether to put web server dependencies of web applications to a hard dependency or a recommendation. ... <-- snip --> So having libapache2-mod-php5 as first alternative in the dependencies is exactly correct. > Olaf cu Adrian [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/03/msg00013.html -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
