Oh, that sounds right. I believe I remember the first time you install
apache-ssl it asks you if you want a passphrase for the secret key. You
should answer none, of course.

Agreed. There really should be a general non-daemon specific mechanism
that says "okay, spent enough time here, time to move on." Some of the
alternative boot systems do background the various tasks, so that would
be one way of getting around it. Another would be to prioritize the ssh
server and networking before anything else--that way you could ssh and
kill the errant apache-ssl task.
