It looks to me like a shell glob.

As a regular expression it would mean match /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and
then zero or more characters other than "." and "#". This would be
strange: it would rule out files named something.conf. As a shell glob
it means match /etc/apache2/conf.d/ then one character besides "." or
"#" then zero or more characters.
