Yes, I have seen that environment variable earlier... with that Apache
compress text/html *only*, but not text/css and text/javasript. OK,
compressing text/html is that mostly matters, so you are right, I don't
care and will use that. But it's funny... if it is possible to compress
text/html only, then how is this not possible with any MIME-types I
choose...

For those of you who is interested:

# AddOutputFilterByType doesn't work with
# ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse, so:
SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
