The Debian/Ubuntu distributions, or rather their Apache HTTPD package maintainers, have renamed the binary to apache2, amongst other modifications. This was mainly done to differentiate between Apache 1.x and Apache 2.x, but its use is mostly void nowadays.

Yes and I have long believed they need to be called to task on this.
The Web Server software "httpd", hence why the source code released in httpd-x.xx.xx. Apache is the Foundation name and is not the project name, in their way of thinking, are they are going to call OpenOffice apache3.4 when its released in coming months....
