If you're upgrading multipla packages at once, it's not uncommon for a
number of daemons belonging to those packages to be stopped, then those
packages get configured, and then all the daemons are started again...
So, yes, it's entirely possible that apache may be down during the
upgrade of an unrelated package.

That's the point I was trying to make :-)
