Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.6-2 Sometimes a package needs to enable a third party module.
For example, jwchat enables module proxy_http on postinst. According to policy, a package should clean after itself. But right now, there is no way to do that: For example, it would be wrong for jwchat to disable proxy_http on purge, since another package might need it too. Therefore, I believe apache2-maintscript-helper should keep a list of dependencies, I mean a list of packages that resulted on a specific module to be enabled. Then, it could disable the module when all reasons to keep it are gone. This might be achieved by storing origin package names in /var/lib/apache2/ files, for example. Alternatively, configurations/sites snippets might be allowed to describe dependencies on modules by extending the #Depends mechanism to other categories of snippets. These dependencies could be (re)evaluated on installation and removal. That solution is a bit more complex on the apache side, but it would make third party scripts more simple, and could prevent multiple reloading of apache (If a site needs 2 other modules, apache2 is reloaded 3 times right now). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
