Apache2 in default Ubuntu install

[Phillip Whiteside]

Although,

In Harry's defence I'd like to point out that using tasksel for a LAMP
installation does at least give you a choice of apache2 or lightpd. So, php
should not really be dragging anything in as a 'depends'. Those wishing to
install LAMP can do so quite easily.

Regards,

Phill.
