Well from my experience with Debian. I tend to agree,

I have upgraded a stable Woody to Sarge keeping my original config
file (that might be my problem). In that config file only mod_auth_ssl is
enabled - modules.conf is never loaded.

I will port my 1.3.26 configuration to the new 1.3.36-6 config file and
see what happens.
