I realised one second after I hit send that I might be wrong. So I
tested it and confirmed I was wrong (mostly).

dpkg -S will expand wildcards, so if there are no files in
/usr/lib/apache2/modules, then /usr/lib/apache2/modules/* will be passed
literally to dpkg -S. That is, unless you have the "nullglob" shell
option set (bash), in which case the argument will be removed and dpkg
wont be happy.
