Thanks Wesley for resuming work in this.
I can confirm that your new debdiff aligns apache 2.4.7 to newer upstream
releases.
My original "mod_rewrite->[P] inside .htaccess" issue remains only
partly fixed. But that's not your fault or Ubuntus, it appears unfixed
even in upstream.
With mod_rewrite->[P] rules in .htaccess, you need to set
"DirectoryCheckHandler On" to keep mod_dir from interfering (even when
"Options -Indexes" is set), whereas rules in vhost definitions just
work.
This could be corrected by comparing the handler string against "proxy-
server" in addition to just REDIRECT_HANDLER_NAME ("redirect-handler");
see attached debdiff, just a single line modified.
Alas, it seems my initial testing back then against newer apache version
was broken. While I _thought_ I had found correct behaviour with
mod_rewrite->proxy in .htaccess in 2.4.10 (Debian Testing at that time
or pkgsrc), I don't get that now with 2.4.23 (Debian Testing). Even
there I need to set "DirectoryCheckHandler On". Probably confused some
xterms and compared with 2.2.x instead. Sorry for that.
With the modified debdiff, mod_rewrite->[P] in .htaccess works the same
again as it does in vhost definitions.
Not sure if that fix is eligible for incorporation in a 14.04 release
though, as it diverges from upstream (closer to ideal, but still
diverging).

Matthias
