+This policy was crafted with apache in mind only, not all available web 
+servers. And its explicitely refers to apache integration, not generic 
+webserver compatibility. For instance, the configuration file provided 
+is apache-specific. Even if we have compatible file permissions, and if 
+we asked packagers to also provide a default lighttpd configuration file 
+(slighly more work), that would still be mostly theorical compatibility 
+without actual testing from the packagers (many more work).
+
+So, rather than a potential compatibility, without documented limits, 
+should we rather not make clear than adapting our web applications 
+package to any other web server than apache is fully up to the end user ?
