Phusion passenger on ubuntu 10.04: why apache2-prefork-dev when we want apache2-mpm-worker?

Question

I want to install a phusion passenger with Ruby Enterprise Edition on x86_64 SMP ubuntu 10.04. recommended option seems

apache2-mpm-worker

but when i run the module-install-apache2-module

phusion passenger installation procedure complains

To install Apache 2 headers: run apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev as root.

why do we need prefork-dev here if we clearly want to run the passenger with mpm-worker apache2? any suggestions? is there an employee-dev package?
