Does it actually work properly? Does it integrate with the apache 2.2 auth model? I understand the supported way forward is to use mod_authn_dbd (included in apache) with its mysql backend. Which I plan to try to support for etch, though we don't currently. Are you in a position to test a migration to mod_authn_dbd and report whether it works? If you could, that would be wonderful so we can document the process in a NEWS.Debian or something. You'll need libaprutil1 from http://p12n.org/tmp/apr-util+mysql/, which is not yet uploaded to unstable. Thanks, Peter
