the name may be confusing to folks, you might want to give it a name
similar to other apache modules, as opposed to a name similar to
different apache servers.  for example:

apache - Versatile, high-performance HTTP server
apache-perl - Versatile, high-performance HTTP server with Perl support
apache-ssl - Versatile, high-performance HTTP server with SSL support

and

libapache-mod-rpaf - Module for Apache which takes the last IP from the
'X-Forwarded-For' header
libapache2-mod-auth-pgsql - Module for Apache2 which provides pgsql
authentication
libapache-mod-mp3 - turns Apache into a streaming audio server
