It is subtle but "AllowOverride Indexes" applies to a group of
directive related to configuring indexes in mod_autoindex itself, but
not the Options directives sub-option for enabling indexes.

>> Allow use of the directives controlling directory indexing (AddDescription,

I think appending it is safe/narrow.
