One other thing to try -- make sure you have an up to date initrd-tools. 
Someone else had a similar problem (different from the one I referred to 
in my last post) which was sorted by updating initrd-tools first, ie

aptitude update
aptitude install initrd-tools

or apt-get update
apt-get install initrd-tools

if you prefer apt-get. Note that "install" will update if it's already 
installed. Try doing that first, THEN doing the apache install and see 
if it behaves a bit more sensibly...
