Bug Description

Upstream resolved the licensing problem that cause this to be removed from Debian/Ubuntu and so the sync blacklist should be removed and the package sync'ed from Debian. Note that despite the date on the debian/changelog entry, this just got out of New recently:

libapache-mod-security (2.5.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
   * The 'Back to the archive!' Release (Closes: #487431)
   * Drop '2' from package name, now libapache-mod-security
   * New upstream release
     - Includes a new licensing exception that allows binary
       distribution with licenses not compatible with GPLv2,
       such as Apache's. See MODSECURITY_LICENSING_EXCEPTION
   * Removed debian/bug and debian/rules entry to install bug
     handling when out of the archive.
   * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.0.0

There is/was a licensing problem with mod_security that makes the distribution of the binary illegal. (See bug #19832)

However upstream has just recently added a license exception, which might solve this issue. Debian-Legal has been notified, but no decision has been made, yet.
(See http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.legal/browse_thread/thread/d4b4a74c82042abd)

This has been resolved in debian and a package is now in sid. (See: http://packages.debian.org/sid/libapache-mod-security )

Any plans to pull this into ubuntu?
