The included modules are for Debian Lenny (0.6.32) :

The included modules are for Debian Squeeze (0.7.67) :
- DAV

Debian Squeeze-Backports, Wheezy and after
Starting Debian Wheezy (and backported to Debian Squeeze), Nginx packaging was splitted to best fit the needs of users.
Three packages were created, nginx-light, nginx-full, nginx-extras.
Both contains different modules, nginx-light being the lighter and nginx-extras being the heavier. nginx-full is in the middle, being installed with the metapackage nginx (nginx-full is not installed if nginx-light is already installed).
