Public bug reported:

in my Ubuntu Server 13.10 armhf installation there are the following dirs in /etc/apache:
conf-available conf-enabled
But the gitweb-1:1.8.3.2-1 package creates a folder /etc/apache2/conf.d and places a gitweb file into.

I linked the file from conf-enabled, but it failed to load with the
following error message:

 * The apache2 configtest failed. Not doing anything.
Output of config test was:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/gitweb.conf:
Either all Options must start with + or -, or no Option may.
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

The apache error.log does not contain any further info.
Content of gitweb config-file is: 
Alias /gitweb /usr/share/gitweb

<Directory /usr/share/gitweb>
  Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>
