I don't have an Apache2 on any of my Ubuntu boxes but here's the
answer from a Debian server which is almost certainly the same:

# dpkg -S /etc/init.d/apache2
apache2.2-common: /etc/init.d/apache2

I suggest you run "dpkg -l | grep -i apache" to see what else
Apache-related you might want to remove.
