Hi,

is that the right fix? There are two other MPMs, namely
apache2-mpm-event and apache2-mpm-itk in Debian. If Torrus is only
incompatible with -worker, I agree, but what about the others?

PHP does it like that:

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Depends: [...] apache2-mpm-prefork (>> 2.0.52) | apache2-mpm-itk

Depending on what the problem internally is, an "include" list of MPMs
would probably be better on the safe side.
