There is a third standard, "FHS-compliant package", which is what
Debian's apache has always been modified to conform to:

     /usr/sbin/apache
     /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
     /usr/lib/apache/1.3/ (all modules are DSO)
     /usr/share/apache/icons/
     /etc/apache/httpd.conf, access.conf, srm.conf
     /var/log/apache/access.log, error.log, rewrite.log
     /var/cache/apache/ (for proxy, if used)
     /var/www

It may makes actually using Apache less confusing though, if its
conforming to subconscious expectations.  Maybe the docs won't have to
be looked at.  :-)
