Yes they both come from maintainer scripts. unfortunatly there is a nasty problem upgrading from woody and apparently apache doesn't get kill as it should. We had to force this is a really hard way to avoid problems later on. like the reload at the first logrotate (there were other bugs related to woody->sid upgrade that you can find in the BTS). > (b) It killed the apache process that was running on the main system in > addition > to the one in the chroot.
