Right now packages with DDs who care about easy backporting carry code
like this in their config snippets (example from roundcube):

 <IfVersion >= 2.3>
   Require all granted
 </IfVersion>
 <IfVersion < 2.3>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
 </IfVersion>

You can also enable a compatibility module for apache, but this practice
is frowned upon, since it can cause problems if you combine both (new
and old) methods of granting or denying access.

Sven.
