Thanks for your assistance.

Can I ask why you think this is merely a wishlist item?

If I've understood the import of this correctly, then the privacy of
every visitor to every website served by Apache on every version(*) of
Ubuntu is at risk.  I don't think that forward-secrecy in SSL is an
optional extra; I think it's a requirement. Also, in my view, server
administrators who deploy https are making an implicit promise to their
site's visitors - and this is a promise which they cannot honour.

(*)even Saucy doesn't have 2.4 packages yet, though 2.4 is in Debian,
Mageia, and Fedora.
