Ouch, yes, you are right, of course.

Ok, that's quite easy.  A friend of mine pointed into the right direction.

mod_userdir relies on UserDir pointing to the directory of the user.
You can set this variable to a different value in each vhost.  Since
the default is 'public_html' it is not sufficient if you just comment
the entry out in srm.conf, but if you set it to some random string that
is not used normally, you're done.  It works now.
