This was reported in Debian, too; it seems to be an upstream change
in Apache.  I don't know what they intend to do about it, but it does
indeed "break" the setups of a lot of people who only put the SSL
certificate, key, and stuff in the virtual hosts that actually
require it.

As a workaround, just put the SSL cert and key directives somewhere
on a global level, outside a vhost, and Apache will start.  Stupid,
I know, but that's how it is for the present :/

G'luck,
Peter
