Ok, it is coherent with what I had in mind. Yay! :)

Again, I hope Filipe can share some insight on this - I think we could
come to an approach such as:

- Installed rails apps register somewhere - Say, in
  /etc/mongrel_cluster/apps_available (and are handled in a way
  similar to Apache's /etc/apache2/sites_available / sites_enabled)
- The mongrel package just installs mongrel, but does not start it at
  all. 
- The mongrel_cluster package, AIUI, is the one in charge for starting
  and managing all the different Mongrel processes in the machine. It
  will start a mongrel for each of said apps
- Of course, a way must be found to bind the individual mongrels to
  the different vhosts of the webserver. That's left for a later
  moment ;-)
