apache2 packages will include all files from /etc/apache2-enabled/ and
generate vhosts with the configs in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/.

You basically use the /etc/apache2/mods-available/ files as templates. there
is a load directive and some config stuff. the a2enmod is simply moving the
files from the avbailable dir into the enabled dir. It is a simple readable
shell script and i dont think it is a good idea to have them lay around and
clutter the namespace.

I dont know about the vhost stuff besides the site dir.

the packages are pretty new, but working well for me.
