It's looking for the directory containing the Apache modules, which on 
RH and FC is /etc/httpd/modules.

It uses the httpd binary itself - it does an httpd.worker -V and parses 
the output, looking for
 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
If this doesn't work with the ubuntu apache, you can override what setup 
uses.  First, run setup with the -k option to save the install.inf 
file.  Next, edit this file, and make sure you have the setting
ApacheRoot=   /etc/httpd
in your [admin] section (or whatever the parent of your Apache module 
directory is).  Then, rerun setup using the edited file like
./setup -s -f /path/to/install.inf
