I also have encountered this problem and reported it as a bug.
It took me quite some time finding out what exactly the problem
is. I'll send you my /etc/init.d/2nd-apache from another machine.
The problem is that apache strarts, fork()s, does something,
then a) reading its config and b) reading its configs from /etc/apache
independent if you specify -f config or -d directory. Sorry but
Apache really suxx. (Hi netgod..)

The correct location is /var/www

There is a apache-doc package containing the documentation. It has
grown so large that it makes more sense creating second package out
of them.

Please correspond to him directly, either on irc.debian.org #Debian
or via mail e.g. through apache@packages.debian.org.
