Bug#631230: apache2 startup fails with missing log directory
While I agree there is a problem with missing log directory repporting - see https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29941 - I don't think creating this directory automatically would be wise.
For exemple, if your directory is not mounted yet, you'll end up writing in / partition and then loosing log data when the mount is finally done.
Therefore, I would either tag that bug wontfix, or alter it so that we push for upstream approach, about the error not being verbose enough and hard to diagnose.
Do that make sense?
