This makes sense, but I'm _sure_ that dpkg --search told me that the
files were owned by neko, not libapache2-mod-neko. Is it possible that
they used to be owned by neko, but transitioned to the other package at
some point, and that didn't work properly?
Of course, now the files are gone, I can't reproduce the bug. But if I
look at my dpkg status file, there is no mention of libapache2-mod-neko;
that is, dpkg has _never_ seen it in an installed state on this machine:
$ dpkg --list neko libapache2-mod-neko

I've never installed neko manually; in fact, the neko package was only
pulled in as a dependency of something else (haxe, I believe).

Hope this helps. Unfortunately, since I've removed the files and the
neko package, I can't ever prove that there was a bug here; except for
the fact that dpkg says libapache2-mod-neko was never installed.
Weird. :)
