[Bug 268868] Re: [Intrepid Alpha 5 through Live release] NameVirtualHost entry in ports.conf causes "NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts" warning and breaks virtualhosts

Yep, figures that you can sync 'em up either way, with the ports or
without.  It just seems kinda buggy in that it breaks what was
previously working to allow the -potential- for ssl virtual hosts.
Seems like at least a simple change to documentation in the new
ports.conf file along the lines of the documentation below, saying
something like "Match all appropriate <VirtualHost *> entries to
VirtualHost *:80> to correspond with the NameVirtualHost *:80" would
make explicit the change as opposed to just introducing a new warning
without documenting the solution.  :p

>From the NEWS.Debian documentation:
apache2 (2.2.9-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * The directive "NameVirtualHost *" has been changed to "NameVirtualHost
    *:80". It has also been moved from sites-available/default to ports.conf.
    This allows to ship a proper SSL default virtual host config in
    sites-available/default-ssl, but it means that if you use several name
    based virtual hosts:
    
    - you will have to change <VirtualHost *> to <VirtualHost *:80> in your
      name based virtual hosts

    - you need to add more NameVirtualHost directives if you use other ports
      than 80 with name based virtual hosts. You may also have to add these
      ports to the default virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
      (like this: "<VirtualHost *:80 *:81>").
    
    If you prefer to revert to the old setup instead (and don't need the
    default-ssl host), just change "NameVirtualHost *:80" back to
    "NameVirtualHost *" in ports.conf and "<VirtualHost *:80>" to
    "<VirtualHost *>" in sites-available/default.

  * For mod_disk_cache, caching is again disabled in disk_cache.conf by
    default. It usually makes more sense to enable this on a per-virtual host
    basis.
