  IMHO there's no necessity. Debian packaging configures openca with
"--with-openca-user" and "--with-openca-group" set to uid/gid of apache.
I thought there was a reason for that. Now I see that we can get rid of
that and make only openca socket owned by apache uid. Thanks for
information. 

  Best wishes
