Yes that has issues... it's been around a long time so this particular
case isn't the best place to solve it..

Ok.. good to know.

Hopefully others in the community have some opinions.. I've not
managed to convince myself absolutely one way or the other. Either way
works.

If they had significant dependencies, pulling in packages that not
everyone wants, then they'd have to be separate packages. These don't
meet that criteria so inside SUNWapch22u is fine and won't cause
annoyance.  But separate packages for optional modules has its
elegance as well. I see debian has tons of "libapache-mod-*" pkgs.
