At a guess, authentication module. Apache is a mess; with all those
possible options and modules, I would rather build it from source then 
use pre-packaged binary -- well, on a production swerver, anyway.

And yes, I also twitched when I saw that mysql dependency. Being a
long-time debian user I figured it was just a library that won't be
used anyway... still, WTF?
