Package: libapache2-mod-shib2 Version: 2.4.3+dfsg-5+b1 The libapache2-mod-shib2 package contains the files for /etc/shibboleth. When you do not use libapache2-mod-shib (as we do in the Moonshot project), the contents for that directory does not get installed. The file listing for the package confirms this: https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/libapache2-mod-shib2/filelist
While in the RHEL distributions the Shibboleth SP is completely self-contained, i.e. it installs the Apache module as well as the Shibd binary and all the schemas, Debian has increased the granularity and makes the schemas available separately. Shouldn't the /etc/shibboleth files be either in a separate package, or be moved to the package that actually requires them (libshibsp5 for example does require them, and libapache2-mod-shib2 requires libshibsp5, as seen as part of this in the Moonshot project). The suggestion to raise this comes from Scott Cantor, one of the principal developers at the Shibboleth Consortium.
