[Pkg-dspam-misc] Bug#488924: Proposed apache2-suexec dependency

[Michel Lespinasse]

I'm learning only today of the proposed dependancy on apache2-suexec.

I think it's a bad idea: the dspam web frontend runs just fine with other
web servers, and it is very unusual to have a packaged cgi-bin script
depend on any particular web server.

I have been running dspam's web frontend with several alternative
web servers such as thttpd or mathopd. The only requirements seem to be
that the server must support some form of HTTP authorization
(basic authorization is just fine though) and that the user id can
be set to dspam (mathopd lets me do that for just dspam's cgi scripts,
thttpd had to be configured with an instance running on a separate port
with dspam's UID).

Maybe you could suggest or even recommend apache2-suexec, and possibly
conflict on the versions that were limited to UID >= 1000 ?
