Bug#228791: apache: modules-config name and/or location too general
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.1-3
Severity: minor
Since shortishly, apache uses /usr/sbin/modules-config for providing an
interface to update the available and loaded modules in apache.
First, the name seems a bit general to me: it has not the word 'apache'
in it, and it is in no way at first sight clear that this is an
apache-specific script (except when you look at source and manpage of
course...).
Second, I might be wrong about this, but I do not believe that there is
an imminent reason to have this script in /usr/sbin. I think this script
belongs better in /usr/share/apache-common/(bin/)modules-config or
something like that. If done this way, the general name is not a problem
anymore, since it isn't in global program namespace anymore.
