That's precisely what's hateful: a superfluous configuration file that
claims to know better than the initscript configuration per runlevel,
and that gets in the way of getting the job done. A properly
integrated apache should be startable and stoppable by calling the
initscript with start/stop/restart (like every other service) without
having to edit yet another obscure setting. (That said, I never used
the Debian-bundled apache. So I don't feel the hate directly, only by
proxy.)
There's stuff above here
