You are correct and is also present in the install instructions (oeps!), so mine 
is now as follows:

	<Directory /var/www/owncloud/>
                Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

And now I don't have the warning msg anymore :-)

Thanks to the excellent instructions by SteveRiley on the forums I managed to 
move my data directory and I think it would be a good idea to mention that in 
the install instruction (see also the Security Warning). 
Forum post:

But what I'm not sure about is whether I have to change the datadirectory value 
in config.php (since the data directory is symlinked to the actual one).

So if it can be confirmed that SteveRiley's instructions are indeed correct and 
complete and answer whether I need to change config.php, that would be most 
welcome.

Cheers,
