Thanks for your report and for making Ubuntu better.
I can confirm this bug. The .in file was added as of:
apache2 (2.4.18-2ubuntu3.16) xenial; urgency=medium
* On Linux, use pthread mutexes. On kfreebsd/hurd, continue using
fctnl because they lack robust pthread mutexes.
(LP: #1565744)

but you're correct in saying that the changelog entry does not mention
the file. You are also correct in your guess: the file is a leftover of
a search-and-replace operation; it should have probably been removed
after the replace took place.
Even though the .in file is harmless (Apache will not try to load it in
any way), it should not have been installed. I am marking this bug as
Triaged and will contact Bryce to sync.
Thanks!
