Thanks for filing the Debian bug. I agree what the comment isn't very clear on the "Require all denied" vs "Options FollowSymLinks" precedente (which I believe is where the confusion lies).
Looks like things have been like this for a long time (apparently those lines have been the same for >10 years), so I'm giving this Low importance. Ideally it should be fixed on the Debian side, as Mitchell suggested.
