At a guess, authentication module. Apache is a mess; with all those possible options and modules, I would rather build it from source then use pre-packaged binary -- well, on a production swerver, anyway. And yes, I also twitched when I saw that mysql dependency. Being a long-time debian user I figured it was just a library that won't be used anyway... still, WTF?
