I have installed the Official Debian Package for Piwik on Debian Jessie. After the update of piwik to version 2.16.3 the icons in the backend were missing. The error log of the webserver showed this error message:

/usr/share/piwik/plugins/.htaccess: AddHandler not allowed here

This refers to this code in the file /usr/share/piwik/plugins/.htaccess:

# Serve HTML files as text/html mime type - Note: requires mod_mime apache module!
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
   AddHandler text/html .html
   AddHandler text/html .htm
</IfModule>

mod_mime was already enabled, but the addhandler directive not allowed in the .htaccess file
because of the directive "AllowOverride Limit" in my VirtualHost configuration; after I changed this to an "AllowOverride All" and reloaded the webserver the backend was OK again.

Perhaps it would be good to write in the requirements that an "AllowOverride All" is necessary?

Important amendment:

"AllowOverride All" is not necessary, "AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit FileInfo" is sufficient and more secure
