The problem is that apache-perl is the statically linked binary, and thus does not use apxs in its own build process. modperl folks: should APXS get set anyway?

Shouldn't be necessary... it should probably have just Build-Depends: libapache-mod-perl - note that apache-perl already provides both apache and libapache-mod-perl. Also don't forget apache-dev.
