    I think it's something the .deb package manager(s) do, since other
    distrobutions I have used, have been using httpd.conf back to apache
    1.3. I personally don't like the way Debian does this, but I think it's
    easier to adjust because it's precompiled with a nice set of features.
    Also I think apache likes to refer to their software as httpd, not as
    "apache" since they have a plethora of projects and other useful software.
