Thanks for the example.  I'm not necessarily attached to the notion of
maintaining Wheezy support to the very end of its LTS period, but I don't
think that this specific case is worth abruptly de-supporting Wheezy
(although yes, Define sure will be handy).

Consequently, unless some other new dependency forces the issue, I suggest
that we consider doing the following:

- announce a deprecation of Wheezy support (or perhaps more precisely,
support for Apache < 2.4) with the release of 3.24
- officially de-support Wheezy in new releases starting with 3.26

In the long run, I'm willing to carve out a new repository slot to keep
3.24 going for Wheezy for as long as there is an RMaint willing to at least
handle security patches.

Regards,

Galen
