Hmm, I have one on my system, and I didn't put it there. I see now that
apache2.2-common ships dav.load but *not* dav.conf; still, something in the
history of this package created dav.conf automatically for me, and it's
broken.
apache2 (2.0.47-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Move dav.conf to dav_fs.conf (Closes: #201530)
* Fix the manual, and only ship it once. (Closes: #201648)
* Enable SymLinksIfOwnerMatch for cgi-bin (Closes: #200829)

This is the first mention of dav.conf I find in the changelog -- and that
predates sarge. It's possible I've had the orphaned file on my system due
to handling that far back (and Vincent has as well), and the file just
recently began to be a problem due to changes in apache2.2-common.
Given that our only known explanation for this problem, then, involves
unreleased packages (sarge didn't ship this file and woody didn't include
apache2), this bug is not release-critical. I leave it to the maintainers'
discretion to determine whether the bug should be fixed or closed.
