Bug#713967: apache2-bin: daemon doesn't close all fds on fork - which causes postinst with debconf to hang

It's definetly a bug for me because it causes postinst scripts, that
restart Apache2, to break while waiting for the debconf fd to close.
That would be every script that enables configs or modules. (while
using the new apache2 maintainer scripts)

stdin/out/err, while daemonizing.

Sorry for that, I just followed the example of a puiparts bug about
errors with apache2 configuration stuff.
