Hi Keith, Good to hear your interest in the package.

Indeed we could install an example apache.conf, although it would be dead simple. I'll do that in the next package release. As for post-install, I've deliberately not done anything on that front yet. I'm still unclear what the Right Way to do that is. I don't want to duplicate a lot of code into this package but on the other hand the alternative, wwwconfig-common seems to be somehow deprecated. As configuration for Apache is as much as adding a symlink I'm not really inclined to go with either of those. > 2. Why does this package depend on php5-cli?

But since these are indeed not essential to the core functionality and provide only peripheral / optional features, I'll downgrade php5-cli to a Recommends from the next release.
