Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.48-7
Severity: normal

I just upgraded apache2-common, and was quite surprised to be asked some
questions about my 'organization', apparently for creating an SSL
certificate. Since I don't use https, I had no idea about what would be
valid responses, and I think I may have given the wrong answers.

So, to take a second look after upgrading, I tried using
dpkg-reconfigure. However, the questions are not asked again. Thus,
this method of generating an SSL certificate breaks expected behavior of
debconf. I for one have no idea how to generate a new certificate once I
actually have a need for one.

We have now fixed this by making it not ask any questions in the
default usage mode which should reduce the risk of users inputting the
wrong data. :-)
