I use this in my main server configuration:

<IfModule deflate_module>
   # safest to enable compression based on a few mime-types
   # NOTE: compression corrupts PDF, gz files
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
   # logging
   DeflateFilterNote ratio
   LogFormat '%v "%!414r" %b (%{ratio}n) "%{User-agent}i"' deflate
   CustomLog /var/log/apache/deflate_log deflate
</IfModule>

Do you have a link to that statement? I don't see it mentioned here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html

It would be a disaster to deprecate that functionality without providing 
a replacement.
