Look at, for example, the webauth source package in unstable or testing.

Yes, you won't be able to find this in wheezy since it's part of the
changes for Apache 2.4 support.  You need to look at packages in unstable
or testing.  wheezy was still Apache 2.2, and the Apache packaging for
wheezy is substantially different than Apache packaging for jessie and
newer releases.
