Then you are using another apache package than I do:
ls -l /etc/apache
[...]
drwxr-xr-x  2 root     root      4096 2004-10-24 01:07 conf.d/

It is in all Debian apache packages I know, ie testing and sarge. Not
stable, yes, but we do not care about woody as nagios wont make it into
woody. :)

Its in there since:
apache (1.3.29.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=3Dlow
  - Added /etc/apache{-ssl,perl}/conf.d support (Closes: #192489, #112553)

I would say: enabled medium, default true. If one installs a thing it
should be enabled, thats why you install it?!
The second one would let him choose Apache{-SSL|-Perl}, Apache2 or All
of them, if we want to seperate it.

Ill think it has some errors in it, so please only on a test machine you
like to kill. :)

Yes. :)


Ah, I see, you already did some bugfixing, thanks. I can test the pgsql
thing this evening/tomorrow, as I use that one at work.
And debian/rules is still way to complicated, the install target at
least. And the one patch-default-foo thingie.
