Recent updates; changelogs of interest This is from a precise update, today.
apache2 (2.2.15-1) unstable; urgency=low
* This release adds and enables mod_reqtimeout, which limits the time
Apache waits for a client to send a complete request. This helps to
mitigate against certain denial of service attacks. In case of problems
with slow clients, the timeout values can be adjusted in
/etc/apache2/mods-available/reqtimeout.conf , or the module can be
disabled with "a2dismod reqtimeout".

git (1:1.8.3.2-1.1) experimental; urgency=low
Starting with this version, gitweb and "git daemon" on Debian are
configured to look for repositories under /var/lib/git by default
instead of /var/cache/git.
You may also want to adjust your inetd, rsyncd, and web server
configuration to use the new base path.
See /usr/share/doc/git/README.Debian for details.
Symlinks are installed during the upgrade to ensure existing
repositories remain accessible. If no local scripts or
configuration depend on /var/cache/git then it is safe to remove
that directory after replacing these symlinks with their targets:
mv --backup /var/cache/git/* /var/lib/git/
rmdir /var/cache/git
rm /var/lib/git/*~
