New Comment:
OK, I can understand that reasoning, However, the choice is
really between getting a (non-fatal) warning on startup for a
duplicate LoadModule statement vs not working at all. I'd say
the former is the more tolerable choice. While the
complications with conf.d stuf may be true, if you find an
uncommented LoadModule in httpd.conf, it doesn't seem likely
that it is already duplicated elsewhere. I'm not familiar with
how you tweak httpd.conf programatically, so I guess there may
be more to it than that.

It's done because most distributions with apache2 use the 'conf.d'
style modularized configurations and the apxs tool can't handle
anything but httpd.conf and that results in having the line in question
in 2 places. Documentation should state this.

It's stupid to do this - it will stop running installs from working
properly when people upgrade.

Any particular reason?
I can see it being not unreasonable for new installs, but for
upgrades (i.e. where the LoadModule line is already active) it
seems really unnecessary. It means that every install of 5.1
will default to not working, even if it was working before.
Is this change in behaviour documented?

That change was intentional, no bug here.

Jani, I think this is broken by you when you changed the apxs switch
from "install" to "not install" or something, please have a look at it.
