Whoops!  I renamed the working apache2-doc file and left it in
/etc/apache2/conf.d/, so it was being used after all.  Add this to the
bottom of your /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache2-doc

---- cut ----
AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ \
  "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/$1"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/">
    Options Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from  127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
 
    <Files *.html>
        SetHandler type-map
    </Files>
 
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/de/ prefer-language=de
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/en/ prefer-language=en
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/fr/ prefer-language=fr
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ja/ prefer-language=ja
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ko/ prefer-language=ko
    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/ru/ prefer-language=ru
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$ \
  /manual/$1$2
</Directory>

and restart apache2, then http://localhost/manual/ should work.  (Bad
line break at top and bottom -- remove the "\" and make it be one line
w/a space after the $.)  Look here for info:

I haven't done anything yet but looked at the manual. :)
