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? -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
