How to enable deflate content-encoding with Apache2 mod_deflate?

No matter how I test using different value of Accept-Encoding, it
always returned as gzip.

curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' http://www.example.com
Content-Encoding: gzip

curl -I -H 'Accept-Encoding: deflate' http://www.example.com
Content-Encoding: gzip

Seems the documentation is confusing? So how to force deflate?

Thanks.

mod_deflate only does one kind of encoding, but I couldn't tell you if
it's actually more gzip then deflate or vice versa wrt 2616.

I am already using

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml

So I suppose it is a bug?

No DEFLATE is used, only GZIP
