While it's usefull in configuration binding to specific network addresses (which are associated with certain net devices) a dependency on all network interfaces is uncalled-for. Default config binds to *:80 / *:443 which is address agnostic. Openssh added some magic to detect non-standard configurations in init.d script, maybe apache2 -S (syntax check) is a way to accomplish this here.
To be more precise, on a multi-homed sertup, I most likely want the webserver run on the public interface (net.eth0 or a bridged net.br0 in virtualization setups) but not on the masqueraded private interface net.br1, which gets reloaded every-time I add another net.tapN for the next box. so my apache depends on net.br0 which is exlicitly set in conf.d.
