Passenger provides your apache with the ability to use rack based applications, but it does not actually provide any host definition to do that. These should be defined in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d and fall outside of the scope of passenger. This includes settings for directories served by these virtual hosts. Your patch would also open up a huge security whole since it would allow serving all files on the filesystem.
