    I tried the provided .deb package and also compiled my own apache2
    server and discovered the following: If you use the Debian package all
    configuration is done in the apache2.conf and the httpd.conf is only for
    compatibility reasons. If you compile your own server, all configuration
    files are in the httpd.conf.

    I am not sure about the version of the apache2 server in the Debian
    package, but I think the version used is not the newest. Maybe this
    difference occurs because of different versions.

    By the way: I would absolutetly recommend to compile the apache2 by hand
    so you can define your own profile in the config.layout file to
    customize where config files and so on are located.

    Greetings,
