Pretending we provided apache2.2-common, modules depending on the 2.2 version of the server had their depdencies satisfied. Thus, they would be co-installable with Apache 2.4, they would migrate to Testing and so on. However, if you try to enable such a module, it breaks the whole server which fails to start as there will be symbol lookup errors at runtime. We could possibly discuss your suggestion as soon as nothing in Debian depends on apache2.2-common anymore, but for now that just adds more havoc. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D
