Apache has pulled the plug in libapreq2:

"
  The libapreq2 library is no longer being maintained or developed by the
  Apache HTTP Server project, following a vote of the Project Management
  Committee. There will be no future libapreq2 releases by this project.
  Existing users should consider migrating to alternative software.

  Project resources will continue to be available in a read-only state:

  * GitHub repository: https://github.com/apache/apreq
  * Mailing list: https://lists.apache.org/list?apreq-dev@httpd.apache.org
  * Historic release archive: https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/libapreq/

   - Joe Orton, on behalf of the Apache HTTP Server PMC

Control: clone -1 -2

Lets start by copying this bug to src:libapreq2 and making it
serious there, leading to eventual removal from testing.
