Bug#775176: please don't open tcp/80 by default

Unfortunately the VirtualHost statement defines both IP address
and port for each virtual host. They don't work without the
appropriate Listen statements, so I cannot follow your "independent
from each other".

Can you confirm that the central Listen statement breaks the
modular approach of a2ensite?

Thats my point: I want to disable apache2 for port 80/tcp without
the risk of loosing this setting on the next package upgrade.

This could be implemented by splitting ports.conf into 2 parts
conf-available/{port80.conf,port443.conf} and to create the symlinks
in conf-enabled (to keep Debian's default). Just a suggestion, of
course.
