I'm going to try and build a package for libapache2-mod-transform. I like it better than libapache2-modxslt, but only modxslt has a package in the debian repositories. Why don't I like modxslt? Read here.
Whoa, just take a look inside the source package debian folder:
500modxslt.info libapache-modxslt.README.Debian changelog libmodxslt0-dev.dirs compat libmodxslt0-dev.install control libmodxslt0-dev.manpages copyright libmodxslt0.dirs docs libmodxslt0.install libapache2-modxslt.config modxslt.libapache libapache2-modxslt.dirs modxslt.libapache2 libapache2-modxslt.prerm modxslt.load libapache2-modxslt.README.Debian modxslt-tools.dirs libapache-modxslt.config modxslt-tools.install libapache-modxslt.dirs modxslt-tools.manpages libapache-modxslt.install patches libapache-modxslt.postinst rules libapache-modxslt.postrm
Wow. That's some serious packaging. I wonder how much of it can be automated? Maybe its not so bad, looks like a bunch of it is used for Apache 1.3, whereas only a few are for Apache 2+.
Here's the rules file, which is pretty sophisticated:

Adding this " -DMXSLT_DISABLE_SIGNATURE" to the debian/rules removes the lame notice, and actually I do like that the If-modified-since 304 response works OK (doesn't with mod_transform in my experience).
