Yes.  This was found only after the upload.  And in
jessie/unstable it's moved to the apache2 binary package
and it should work there.

Someone else mentioned this too, just after I uploaded to
unstable.

Other problems I'm aware of caused by debconf:
- It fails to install if you use a non-interactive debconf
  frontend.
- The readline based frontend shows an empty list of services
  while the script properly detects them.

Anyway, I would like to get rid of this static list of packages
and finding the init scripts.  I would actually like to see the
package manager like apt deal with this directly.
