It's actually /usr/share/doc/spip/apache2.conf that should be copied to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/http-host (http-host to follow the actual
logic in the current README file).

/etc/apache2/conf.d/spip.conf is already a link to that file.

The purpose of the proposed Alias is to make SPIP available from
http://<hostanme>/spip (where hostname is anything that point to the
host, no matter what VirtualHost it is). I guess Romain added this
before he added the mutualisation, so that proposed Alias and its
comment should be safely dropped.
