[Bug 614195] Re: Apache2 UserDir defaults to User www-data

[Adam Conrad]

UserDir is meant specifically to allow read access to ~/public_html,
which it does just fine in the Debian/Ubuntu setup.  Perhaps you're
confusing it with suEXEC?  I would consider it pretty non-intuitive to
blindly enable suEXEC (a potentially large security risk, if people
don't understand it) just because people want to serve content from
public_html.
