I converted it to GTK2, and uploaded it to experimental, as version
1.2a-3 ; if anybody has a AMD64 machine on the desktop, please test
it.  In 1.2a-3 there is a bug when saving snapshots of the window,
so it is not ready for unstable.

hmmm.... the apache team  talked about packaging 2.2 in December ,
(see bug bug 344072  (*))
then all went dead; from time to time there is a message such as
http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2006/03/msg00059.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2006/04/msg00039.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2006/05/msg00022.html
but no answer to them ever (and no answer to my message as well).

So the situation is fishy: I may NMU apache2 in its current version
2.0, and replace all non-free code with free code; but this would not
serve our users well.

Truth is, apache2 would need a lot of work: it has 3 RC bugs open and
110 I&N bugs open.

If apache2 is not actively mantained, maybe the best thing would be to
look for someone with time and interest to actively mantain it; or
otherwise to just drop it off the archives.

(*) Actually, according to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see bug 344072),
 in Feb apache2.2 was "awaiting some final polish",
 so it would be nice if he may publish the partial work somewhere
