Yes, but similarly, there's no way to do this automatically.
There's also a problem that the man pages are in the package:
$ dpkg -L apache2.2-common | grep /man/
/usr/share/man/man8
/usr/share/man/man8/apache2.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/a2ensite.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/apache2ctl.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/a2enmod.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/apachectl.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/a2dissite.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/a2dismod.8.gz
There's no way to read this documentation first or keep it
(this is useful if one wants to write/maintain a script that
tests whether apache2 is available or not, for instance).
