Bug Description
Binary package hint: apache2
Apache 2 with default configuration is not able to server files from unionfs used on a ubuntu derived live usb distribution.
The solution is to add the
EnableSendfile Off
line into the apache configuration file.

I am confirming this bug, but I think it should not be fixed for three reasons:
1. Using a live cd for providing a web server is not appropriate. Live cds are for desktop systems.
2. Disabling sendfile will slow down Apache by default.
3. This is not an apache bug.
But I agree it's and interesting behaviour. The main maintainer for the apache package will decide. Maybe we can at least handle this in the documention.
