no. It will definitely fail, the openpkg bootstrap releases are
not compatible.

Lets say, apache2 isn't the major focus :)
The goal should therefore be to package the tomcat adapter for apache2.
For apache1 you just install the tomcat4-adapter (which is mod_webapp
and optionally mod_jk).

Indeed. Usually it creates more problems than it solves.

Where do you see the boring work ?
You need time to build the packages, but that's CPU time and not your
time.
