It does not.

However, while reading docs I came across the advice to run `apache2 -S` to
see how the config files are being generated and

tire:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# /usr/sbin/apache2 -S
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:80                   is a NameVirtualHost
         default server tire.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:2)
         port 80 namevhost tire.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:2)     ### what? / ah ha!
         port 80 namevhost blog.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/blog.patch.com:2)

         port 80 namevhost tire.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tire.patch.com:2)       #### What??
         port 80 namevhost tiret.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tiret.patch.com:2)
         port 80 namevhost tmoin.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tmoin.patch.com:2)
         port 80 namevhost twiki.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/twiki.patch.com:2)
         port 80 namevhost wiki.patch.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wiki.patch.com:2)

So the default is the name associated with the hostname even if you have a separate namehost defined? 
I'll have to try this out on another physical server.
