Debian has fixed this by updating apache2 to use dlopen's search path
and changing mod-security.load to not use any absolute path. This is a
nice clean fix.

For an SRU, I think our options are:

1) Also SRU apache2 to use the search path as Debian has done, but this seems a 
bit too major for an SRU.
2a) Change mod-security.load dynamically on postinst, but this will prompt on 
future upgrade (as it's a conffile).
2b) Use ucf to update mod-security.load dynamically on postinst, but this 
requires introducing ucf which seems excessive for an SRU.
3) Symlink /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 on postinst, but this would break m-a for 
libxml2.

I don't like any of these options. What other fix is possible? Or are
one of these acceptable?
