Package: wordpress
Version: 4.6.1+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm a newbie to apache & wordpress, working with testing out wordpress
in a virtual hosts configuration on my own box. After getting
wordpress up and running, I found that a lot of basic functionality
was not working correctly & it took me a while to track down the
problem. It turns out that many wordpress packages require a
permalinks setup other than the default to function. However,
wordpress's ability to find it's own pages with permalinks other than
the default seems to depend on apache2 having mod_rewrite enabled,
which was not true of the default installation, & seemingly not well
documented by wordpress, either online or on the debian system.
Ideally this info should appear as part of a prominent README and
perhaps be configured by the wordpress package installation. I
understand that mod_rewrite may be considered a minor security risk,
but seemingly one accepts that with the decision to use the wordpress
package.

Exactly!
This example file does indeed mention you need to have mod_rewrite
enabled.
|For this configuration to work you'll also need to have mod_rewrite
