apache for g-u-s just loads the dav module, so that's no drama at all.

apache.

Don't see why you want a new package just for an init script - that seems a
little over the top. If we go down the road of using g-u-s, apache2 for
hoary would be changed to just listen on localhost by default; or could be
disabled from launching altogether which is trivial, then g-u-s
would launch a second config.
