Oh, right, because version 2 doesn't have any shib.conf, and when
Shibboleth 1 is removed by installing Shibboleth 2, it doesn't remove the
shib.conf file since the libapache2-mod-shib package isn't being purged,
just removed.

Yup. I think that's the right way to fix it. Then, the a2dismod that
happens when libapache2-mod-shib removes the link for the config file and
the Shibboleth 2.0 package won't reintroduce it.
We should get this fix into lenny, which will mean making a lenny branch
off of the old master before we merged in Shibboleth 2.1. I can take a
look at doing that.
