I have experienced the same bug with version 2.0.54-4. It is caused by a
misnomer in the type-map files included in the debian package. Type-map
files are supposed to have a .var extension; whereas, the have a .html
extension in the debian apache2-doc package.

The solution seems to be simply to delete all the *.html files or rename
them as *.var.
