Hi meshway, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report so we can make Ubuntu better!

I believe this is an exact duplicate of bug #582963 , which has been fixed, albeit not perfectly, in Natty by using plymouth's "ask for password" facilities.

We probably won't backport that to Maverick or prior releases, because it potentially halts the bootup. This needs to be documented in some release notes before we do it so we don't accidentally leave a time-bomb on somebody's remotely managed system for the next reboot.

As you note, the only real answer is to start apache2 manually when you have a pass phrase.

This is noted in the maverick release notes:
