There you are right, but that's merely a problem of insserv, not
primarily Apache. Having that said, I agree with you here: insserv
should retain such overrides the administrator manually configured among
package upgrades, e.g. by providing an override wrapper which works
similar to dpkg-statoverride.

Right, but that wasn't the problem you reported. I personally do not
have a strong opinion on /etc/default/apache2 as said, but I am not the
(only) person to judge here.

There is some discussion going on in Debian, in particular regarding
moving to systemd in the long term. However, the Debian kFreeBSD branch
blocks such a transition in the near future and it may or may not solve
your particular problem. Of course that's a distribution-wide question
again.
