Why are you using phpgroupware as an example here? Package: phpgroupware Depends: apache2 | apache | httpd, php5 | php5-cgi | libapache2-mod-php5 [...] This doesn't force you to install apache. It just requires that you have apache and php installed, which by default is going to pull in apache2 and libapache2-mod-php5 if the dependency isn't previously satisfied. (The php depends in this particular example are strange; it should probably depend either on "php5" alone, which is a metapackage. But that doesn't change the argument.) And this has long been the policy for webapps, so I don't understand your claim. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
