23 Actually, that is the intended outcome since a virtual/httpd does not
24 exist yet. If neither of the use flags are set, its next choice is
25 lighthttpd. One of the limitations/hacks I had to do in the ebuild
26 because of the lack of the virtual. If you feel it should be different,
27 please file a bug in bugzilla and I'll take a look at it :-).
