What you might be wanting to look at is the file /etc/default/apache2...

The contents of that file on install, IIRC are:
--- Begin File --- # 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot NO_START=1 --- End File ---
Yes, that is what I have.
Thus defaulting to not starting the apache2 server on boot (or, infact, ever from the init script).
?????? Errrr... Does this mean that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who wants to use Apache will encounter the same problem as me????
No, just debian and ubuntu users.
And, after all that - I've just prodded the debian apache2 maintainer, and it appears that they're going back to having it start on install (it's apparently already that way in unstable). Damned hippy maintainers changing thier minds and not doing what I want them to... Grrrrr.
/me ponders starting a thread on debian-devel for networked services to all not automagically start on first install.
