Neither. apache24-devel used daemon:daemon, so it was left that way when apache24-devel was moved to apache2.

Forgotten.

Again. Not intentional. This was never implemented under apache24-devel.

The original folder only has httpd.conf, but not extra/httpd*.conf. I suppose the original folder is a duplicate of the .orig file, and can be removed.
