it's not policy incompliant if e.g. php5 would install /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/whatever containing a virtualhost definition. the reason why nobody would do that, is, that it's just wrong and unreasonable to do such a thing (where e.g. aliases and directory directives are a reasonable thing to do for a web application). or in other words; you right with your description of the resulting situation, but the reason is not policy, but common sense. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
