Bug#458093: Apache2 overwrites index.html every time it is upgraded

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch3

I used to have /var/www/index.html as a symlink to /home/me/mysite/index.html

When I upgraded from apache to apache2, that no longer worked, because the homepage was now /var/www/apache2-default/index.html

Undaunted, I simply made that a symlink to the same file, and my homepage was restored.

Unfortunately, every time apache2 is upgraded, it trashes my symlink and installs its own default index.html (which just says "it works!").

This has happened for at least the last six upgrades. I'm afraid I can't remember the version of apache2 I started using.

Please could you fix it so that apache2 leaves any index.html (symlink or file) alone when it upgrades?

Thanks,
