I found the spec after sending this. I see that it unpacks under var/ apache2 but I don't see a Requires statement requiring apache to be installed. Should this be specified or is it too restrictive specifying the brand of web server. There are also other requires of PHP5 and MySQL4 or PostgreSQL 8.0. I'm guessing the Requires statement can't handle "or's" at this time.
