I still use Apache Httpd quite a bit, actually. Alongside haproxy, that is. The thing I appreciate about Apache is its modular layout. With Nginx I often run into a use case where I need to recompile stuff, something that never happened to me with Apache Httpd.

Debian have it pre-packaged as nginx module.

Note, just in case, that nginx already has support for dynamic modules, and you don't have to rebuild it to add functionality.
