Hi, I think this is only partly right. Packages should not have hard preference on a specific web server unless they are server modules.
Or provide configurations specifically for that webserver, preferably in a way that bundles these settings in a subpackage like https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_PHP#Supporting_different_web_serv..., but that's also what you mention below, so I guess we can agree on that. Still, many packages currently requirering mod_php_any are indeed apache2 only and they should definitly have a hard dependency on that.
Production php should not be mod_php anyway but rather fcgi/fpm which works with different webservers just the same.

as for web server config snippets or whole vhost configs, they should be offerings only and i do not even like them to be automatically live/active.

Providing software to the right parts of fs, compatible to a distribution, and assuming how the user will run it are two different businesses.
+1, but yet I also understand that people want to provide something that works out-of-the box. Arjen
