I'll shortly be starting work on moving apache-related packages.

To make life easier for everyone - at the expense of a one-off bit of pain - 
I'm thinking of splitting the apache packages into TWO categories:

  - www-apache1 for apache1 packages
  - www-apache2 for apache2 packages

This will be a giant leap towards getting rid of the apache USE flag pain, and 
the associated noise / bugs that result from this.

The main downside with this proposal is that I haven't figured out an 
automatic way for users to upgrade to the correct apache1/apache2 packages 
after the split.  Any ideas would be welcome.

Best regards,
Stu
