Better do the configs the 'debian way' then:

/etc/apache2/ containing:

apache2.conf : default config for running Apache2 minimally.
ports.conf : "Port 443" etc directives
httpd.conf :  local site extra's
modules-available/ : containing a config file per module
modules-enabled/ : containing symlinks to the modules-available
directory

Now if you want a module enabled; you can symlink it, easy and obvious
configging for everybody ;)
The apache2.conf "includes" the ports.conf + httpd.conf +
modules-available ofcourse.
As for packagers, let your apache module depend on the main apache
package and install your module's
config into the available dir, then _ask_ the user if they want it
enabled at once.

Greets,
