I have just uploaded the new packages with a bunch of fixes along the
lines that we've discussed (unfortunately, they are currently not
available via www since something is wrong with alioth). Most notable
changes are:

* Switched to using Debian-rrfw user and group.
* Added verbose mode to the startup script (/etc/init.d/rrfw-common). If
  the variable VERBOSE is set to 'yes' in /etc/default/rrfw-common, it
  will output extra information during RRFW shutdown.
* Moved all the configuration files previously in /usr/share/rrfw to
  /etc/rrfw.
* Added (in view of recent discussion on d-d mailing list) a portion to
  remove all the RRFW-related stuff from /var on purge.

So far I've only done basic testing with apache, apache2 is currently
broken in unstable :-/. Comments are appreciated, as always.
