certbot renew fails due to missing apache2ctl

Running certbot renew fails due to it referencing the non-existent command apache2ctl. I thought this would be solved by installing the apache2-ctl package, but this only creates the command apachectl. Looking at the man pages for apachectl it reads as if apache2ctl is an alias for apachectl, so I tried doing the following:

/usr/sbin # ln -sf apachectl apache2ctl

After that certbot renew works without issues. Perhaps this softlink could be created by the apache2-ctl package install?
