I was under the impression that my scripts will run in a chrooted 
environment anyway. Will check that.

I just note that at least there seem to be major differences between a 
"normal" installation and a softupdate. (I am doing softupdates right now.)

While doing a softupdate, you're not in a chroot environment, so 
$ROOTCMD and no $ROOTCMD might be the same.

Also I found I should use

$ROOTCMD apache2ctl restart

at the end of the script, which again is not needed during a "normal" 
install as the box will reboot anyway after the installation.

These things might be the counterpart of

depending on what you start with when developing your config.
