The problem is well known, but unfortunately not trivial.

Slash out of the box doesn't work with 2.x Apaches. Slashdot itself
still runs Apache 1.3. See also this discussion at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1180528679.21189.1192504357%40webmail.messagingengine.com&forum_name=slashcode-general

But there is an inofficial patch for the current "stable" version
2.2.6 from 2004 (see
http://www.slashcode.com/articles/04/02/19/2144259.shtml and
http://www.crackerjack.net/slash-2.2.6-modperl2.diff.txt) for Apache
2.0.

Since I plan to evaluate that patch for the Slashsite I run, I also
already planned to try to update the package to work with Apache 2.x.
No promises, but at least a personal urge to get that damned thing
working with Apache 2.x. :-)

Much more speculative is though if the current developement version
can be made run with Apache 2.x. (But as long as it's brandmarked
"stable" it should be ok for Debian Stable, shouldn't it? :-)
