as you obviously figured the replicated package manager behaviour is
for installing apps into multiple vhosts. at first i thought this was
a nice idea, but after some time managing webapps with w-c, i really
hate it and install most things manually nowadays ;-)

i am in favour of debian-like approach too, but i think there are
people relying on the w-c approach now, so an optimal solution would
be to just make webapp-config optional, but this may be an impossible
task, i don't really know.
