Bug Description
Currently the man2html package depends on the Apache stack. The package comprises a CGI component, which clearly requires the Apache stack, and a man page to HTML page compiler which I believe is not dependent on the Apache stack. Having the man page to HTML page compiler available separately without the need to install the Apache stack would be a serious improvement in the package structure. Currently it is not possible to install the man2html command via packages on a machine which is not allowed to have the Apache stack installed.

This bug was fixed in the package man2html - 1.6g-5
---------------
man2html (1.6g-5) unstable; urgency=low
* man2html.postinst: Convert the /u/s/d/man2html directory into a symlink
pointing to man2html-base (closes: #616594).
* man2html.doc-base: Register html files from man2html-base, not man2html.
* man2html.cgi.c: Check result of pipe() call.
man2html (1.6g-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Depends/Suggests lynx-cur instead of lynx transitional package
(closes: #613129).
* Add a debian/NEWS file for the recent package split. Include a dummy
entry there to work-around apt-listchanges bug #590541.
man2html (1.6g-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Upload to unstable.
* debian/rules:
+ use dpkg-buildflags for setting CFLAGS;
+ add build-arch and build-indep targets.
man2html (1.6g-2) experimental; urgency=low
* Split the binary package into two (closes: #285403, LP: #584825):
+ man2html-base with a command-line man to HTML converter only;
+ man2html containing the CGI interface.
* Remove any dependencies on web-server stuff from the man2html-base
package, and make man2html package to depend on httpd instead of
recommending it (closes: #504486).
man2html (1.6g-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Get the searched/indexed man directories from system manpath file
(LP: #246816):
+ cron.weekly: use `manpath -g' to find out the system man directories;
+ man2html.cgi.c: take MANDB_MAP entries into account while parsing
manpath.
+ postinst: call the weekly job to perform initial indexing of man pages;
+ avoid duplicated/
the cgi program.
* manwhatis.c: add the `-g' option to manpath call.
* 010-aux-
* 033-gcc-
* Reformat Debian-specific sources with the `astyle -A1 -SKs4' command.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (no changes).
* Bump debhelper compat mode to 8.
