Upgrade apache or Not?
I see that on the latest version of Debian, there are now some updates to the apache files.
Will an apt-get upgrade on a running isp-control platform break anything to your knowledge?
OR should apache be left at its current setup as the standard 1.07 install

apache2
Apache HTTP Server metapackage New version 2.2.16-6+squeeze3 Squeeze
apache2-mpm-worke
Apache HTTP Server - high speed threaded model New version 2.2.16-6+squeeze3 Squeeze
apache2-suexec
Standard suexec program for Apache 2 mod_suexec New version 2.2.16-6+squeeze3 Squeeze
apache2-utils

The Debian's packages already make sure to not overwrite any configuration file when updating to a newer package *of the same distribution version*. This is, you can perform upgrades totally safely so long as you do not upgrade the debian version (switch to wheezy/sid).

To clarify
apt-get update, apt-get upgrade (IS SAFE)
apt-get dist-upgrade (IS NOT SAFE)
