At least in the two cases above, this was a 2.4 specific change. The 
packages still build fine.

Lintian complains, though:

mod_ruby doesn't use the LDFLAGS passed in via apxs, though:
 
libapache2-mod-ruby: hardening-no-relro 
usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ruby.so

But I wonder if it would not be better to simply remove mod_ruby. Last
