Bug#990580: apache2: [regression] daily cron mails from logrotate: Reloading Apache httpd web server: apache2.

Debian Apache Maintainers,

DSL> Which init system are you using?

The answer was in TG's original bug report:
        Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init)

I believe that this regression only occurs for non-systemd init systems
(i.e. sysvinit).

Popcon says sysvinit-core is installed on 0.88% of reporting systems:
        https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=sysvinit
Some of those may be pre-Jessie, so the percentage could be even lower.

How could there be a /usr/sbin/apache2 process that is not ours?

Any suggestions for improving this (after bullseye release, of course)?
