Yes, it's not obvious that you need to enable the module after
installing it. Why doesn't the installer enable it automatically?

I believe all Debian-based distributions have done this with Apache 2
for a few years now.

It scared me quite nicely when I upgraded the first time they did this
(on Debian "unstable", I believe) and found none of my modules were
enabled anymore and my Apache configuration had been overwritten. :)
