There is:

.# Whether to chown logfiles to the user/group Apache runs as.
APACHE_CHOWN_LOGFILES=0
                     ^^ This should be 0 *not* 1, which I think is Debian's
		        default.

This is used by /etc/cron.daily/apache.  The server logs should root.adm or
root.root with 640 permissions.  Having the same that runs the server
owner/group write permissions to the logs is asking for trouble.  Nor
should the world normally be able to look them.
