You missed the point. I am *not* suggesting apache1 be added instead of apache2, I am saying NO apache *at all* should be installed "out-of-the-box". I found out why though, it's packaged with php5, which is also pretty stupid to do. If a user installs PHP, they should also install any httpd they want.
