Right now aswstats 6.5 forces net-www/apache as a dependency, but works as a
charm when using it with lighttpd.

I agree with this bug.  I am running lighttpd on my server, I know awstats
would work fine with it, but when I try to emerge it, it tries to install
apache.  Recommend to change ebuild to require any web server, not just apache.

hhm, AFAICT from the webpage (http://awstats.sf.net) you can log email and ftp
data as well... perhaps it should not depend on any specific server software

This was fixed in 6.5-r2 and 6.6, the changes should hit the mirrors in a
couple of hours. The ebuild now uses apache/apache2 USE flags to determine if
you want Apache support directly (it anyway only influences the DEPENDs and the
default example logpath), otherwise (if you don't set the USE flags), it won't
depend on any (web)server and it will set the default logpath in the example
config to /var/log/awstats_log.
