[Clint Byrum]

Thanks Steve, I've updated the description with the note I'd like to see
in Natty's release notes.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apache2
  
  When you configure apache to use a password-protected SSL key, you are
  prompted to provide that password when apache starts. The PID file has
  not been written at this point, so the init script won't work properly
  until the password is provided or apache is killed manually. In ubuntu
  10.04, when apache is started by upstart, it cannot read input from the
  the console. You must login, kill it manually, then start apache. I was
  able to workaround the problem using by adding "stty sane" to
  /etc/init.d/apache2.
  
  sed -e '/^ENV=/i stty sane' /etc/init.d/apache2|sudo tee
  /etc/init.d/apache2

+ ==== Natty Release Notes ====

+ If you have setup Apache with an encrypted SSL key, the system will now
+ prompt for the pass-phrase on the console during boot. This is different
+ from the behavior of previous versions which would simply fail to start
+ apache.
