In case you missed what I said. Since /var/www is the
DocumentRoot (which I selected when installing apache). Now, I could
have made the output directory of webalizer not globally visible, by
opting not to have it under /var/www, my choice at install time.
And no need to hack up the configuration file of another
package, and this supports both apache1 and apache2, and I can skip
back and forth between web servers -- there are over 20 in Debian.

That expectation seems to be ... odd. Why would you think that?

Do you get a choice to enable it or not? Do you get an option
not to have this data visible to the wide world be default? Does
webalizer work with 20+ webservers, user choice?
