Hence I suggest a single user id to be used. (I'm fine with any other
solution which works as well)
My main concern is the fuzziness of the current situation where we have
- one virtual package 'webserver' corresponding to four implementations (apache, lightpd, nginx, cherooke)
- one common base (webserver-base) only used by the two first ones
- all our web applications packages using 'apache' as mandatory dependency

If the main concern is file ownership, I'd propose for the next release to have each of these servers use a distinct uid, document root and index page, but use a shared 'webserver' or 'www' gid, and ensure all of those applications use group-based permission, instead of user-based. I'd find this setup a bit clearer.
