[PAYH] ServerTokens and mod_deflate

Please set Apache to use ServerTokens OS or even better, ProductOnly. Currently every request is sending out the header:
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.18 mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4 PHP/5.2.0-8+etch11 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8
This much information doesn't need to be given to visitors.
Secondly I have AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript in my root .htaccess but files with those types aren't compressed. Apache doesn't throw a 500 Internal Server Error with this command so I assume mod_deflate is installed but disabled somehow. If so why? PHP can be set to gzip output. It'll help reduce bandwidth and make loading faster.
