I'm not using SSL but experienced a similar problem. /etc/init.d/apache restart -- only reloads the modules. So, as listed below, I have used 'apache stop' then 'apache start'. I didn't bother to look at the script.

(I do not use logrotate for apache logs, but I restart the server for other reasons every month.) I have the Apache compiled and installed from sources myself - not from Debian package! The "/etc/init.d/apachectl graceful" or "/etc/init.d/apachectl reload" do not work - "...apachectl stop; ...apachectl start" does. Hope that helps a little bit.
