The reason why there is no "apache" word in it is that we ship 3 flavours of apache. After a big cleanup of name clashing around the 3 flavours (apache, apache-ssl and apache-perl) if we have to ship an apache-modules-whatvername than people would expect also the other 3 and that won't be the case. Plus expandig modules-config in the future to support for instance apache2 or other webservers is relatively simple. > > Second, I might be wrong about this, but I do not believe that there is > an imminent reason to have this script in /usr/sbin.

No becuase modules-config is a tool that can be used anytime by the administrator. /usr/sbin is the proper localtion.
