Yes, I understand. Well, I do not expect, all packages now to be changed. My intention with my mail was to beg maintainers to take a look, when they will build packages (in the future) or newer versions, if it might be able to use alternatives to apache2. Of course, it might be no problem for me, to change dependencies within a package by me, but an update would change this back. And I hope, maybe some developers are thinking like me and things will change in the future. Please define my mail just as a wish and a feedback to ALL maintainers and the securityteam, too, in some kind. And to some packages, I know they are working, I will give feedback.
