Which is fun, but if you want another webserver (say, hiawatha) that isn't as insecure as Apache (I know, I know, religious discussion, but go ask the OpenBSD folks) you have a conflict of ports.

A hard-depend on mysql is also nice but a bit overkill if you only want sqlite for a couple of keys.

I 'fixed' it for myself by editing the debian/control file and deleting all the dependencies in the Depends: line, but this could be solved more elegantly by depending on 'httpd' (which is Provided by a lot of alternative packages) instead of a package name.

I agree with this in principle, but we don't have time to work on this ourselves -- but we are happy to review patches.

Re mysql, we do depend on MySQL|PostgresSQL so the package is multi-database ready. Adding an option to work with sqlite would be nice.

Re apache, we some apache-related things in postinst which needs to be cleaned up and generalized. The apache config has changed a bit in jessie, so maybe it is possible to achieve this in a better way.

Also, maybe these depends should be recommends? I'm not sure what you could use yubikey-ksm for without a database or webserver though.
