Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
When using UserDir directive on Apache2 on CentOS, you get access to the directories as THAT USER, but on Ubuntu Server it is stupidly set up as www-data. This is completely contrary to what most people will ever want if they actually set up UserDir, which is designed for user specific accounts and access to public_html, not for central access. Please fix this. It is the wrong wrong wrong configuration default.

Hi Xeno,
Please can you clarify why this is an issue; is it presenting as a problem when using dynamic content, such as PHP?
Thanks.
