Package: apache-ssl
Version: 1.3.33-3
Severity: important

When I just upgraded apache-ssl, the postinst script did these modifications
without asking me:

This is quite serious, since changing the bind port changes the configuration
in a way which cannot be done safely.  How would you know what the admins 
intentions are? 

Luckily, I also had a virtual server running on port 443, so I noticed an
uexpected error caused by the above change.
