Because the version 2 module does not understand the ShibSchemaDir
directive.  But the module loader names are the same, so a2enmod can
not differentiate: it links in the version 1 shib.conf together with
shib.load when it enables the version 2 module.

Which means renaming the version 2 module loader, I guess.  That is,
use /etc/apache2/mods-available/shib2.load instead of
/etc/apache2/mods-available/shib.load.  The module name can stay
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_shib_22.so, as the two packages conflict.
