No, it does solve issues and was requeste several times.  It also 
matches other ports/ tree things that do this.  At least one of which is 
that you can build mod_perl2 with both www/apache20 and www/apache22.
You might even have half a chance of knowing which one you are 
installing too when you do a pkg_add.

No, this is so CONFLICTS in Makefiles can work.  Several shared 
libraries in ports/ do this.

The package already goes in an /$arch/ dir so thats not so usefule.

Sorry we agree to disagree.
