Bug Description
apache2-bin declares that it provides httpd and httpd-cgi, but the package description itself says that to actually get a running web-server, you need to instead install apache2, or perform manual action on your own.
I had apache2 automatically pulled in via a dependency from munin on httpd in 13.04, but in 13.10 most of apache was automatically removed as no longer being required during the release upgrade process.
I suspect that, to provide a running web-service upon package installation, the apache2 package should provide httpd, rather than apache2-bin.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I think we should do the same as Debian here; I'm interested to hear Debian's view on this.
