Most packages declare their dependency on 'apache | httpd', which means "Any web server (but Apache is the first on the list)". Why? Because that's what the maintainers have tested it against. If you find a Web-based application which depends on Apache and cannot be installed with any other Web server (and doesn't have a reason for that - i.e., if it's a mod_perl application, it _is_ bound to Apache, like it or not), please file a bug, as it should not depend on that specific package.
