Hello

As a user of apache, I've also customised the home directory and shell
(I accept the risks).
By reading "acct-user.eclass", I've seen that these customisations can
also be kept.

Could you add a paragraph telling that other configuration values can be kept ?
You could also point to the eclass documentation [1] for details. I'm
not sure it's the best solution because it's intended for Gentoo devs,
not users, but if someone runs a web server, he should be able to
handle that.

Thanks
Best regards
