This would happen, for instance, if /var/log is on a ramdisk. That is something commonly done for systems that use an SSD drive. Putting logs on a ramdisk avoids wearing out the SSD flash memory.
It would be helpful if the apache initscript createad its log subdirectory if needed.

Upstream has rejected the patch. Would you be so kind to add this patch to the ubuntu delta?

Thank you for reporting this issue and including a patch. I have forwarded your patch to Debian for consideration. If accepted, we'll get this fix on our next merge. I'm not keen to extend our delta with Debian on this issue, but we will benefit from your patch eventually!
Thanks again.
