I did a workaround by changing the name of dirlist.php to index.php.
This makes Apache use this file as the renderer if the URL lacks the
file specification.
So this solves the problem for the directories which do have an
index.php inside.
But what to do for intermediate directories which are not supposed to
be shown at all? I REALLY want Apache to show a "Forbidden" page
rather than the list of files and dirs in the directory of the URL.

Question remains, why does this not work?

Note that I have not added any virtual hosts or anything, Apache is
straight out of the box except for Subversion and it has enabled the
default site /var/www/html, which is the one I am trying to get
working properly.
