Package: mailman
Severity: normal

apt-get installing mailman on a system which *deliberately* does not have
apache2 installed (luckily it is not hugely resource-constrailed) and found
that it has apache2 as a hard dependency.

i'm now going to need to have to download the source code, *modify the
debian/control file*, dpkg-buildpackage the package and install that.

could apache2 please be changed to a "Recommended", and/or a separate
package created which has any relevant config files / config fragments
associated with apache2 for mailman usage?
