Hi,

Installation of wordpress pulled in this package through a recommendation.
What I didn't notice until users started complaining about their broken
web site, was that the location /javascript was globally aliased to
/usr/share/javascript.

I removed the /etc/apache2/conf.d symlink and instead Include'd the file in
the WP virtual host, but that doesn't change the fact that this is silly
and intrusive and needs to go away. Don't mess with the global Apache
context, overriding user settings, it's just a bad idea. Tell them how to
Include it or Alias it, and that's good enough.

Please fix it. TIA.
