Bug Description

When one of the serverblocks contains directives supplied by one the additional modules, e.g. `echo`, I found that the installation is failing, which causes that the complete upgrade process breaks.

```
Setting up libnginx-mod-http-auth-pam (1.10.1-3+trusty0) ...
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "echo" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com.conf:126
dpkg: error processing package libnginx-mod-http-auth-pam (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status
```

Real issue might just be that the dynamic module isn't correctly linked. Because removing the offensive line from the configuration and retrying the upgrade completes without errors, but the `echo` directive in the configuration isn't working either..

I also have the same issue trying to use fastcgi_cache_purge.

This is a major problem since the older versions aren't kept in the ppa.

I've found a solution to my problem. This latest nginx package uses external modules, so you have to have the following line in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, "include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;". I had a custom nginx.conf that didn't include this line. After adding the line, the 'unknown directive' problem went away.

I still had a problem with libnginx-mod-http-perl clashing with nginx-extras 1.10.1-0+trusty0, but I ran 'aptitude upgrade' repeatedly until all the error messages went away. Everything seems to be working now.
