R: apache >= 1.3.33-3 is no more complicated than R: webserver = apache, just 
use BuildRequires.txt as guide (or appropriate template.spec files)

but the upgrade dist will not help with your offer, because poldek/rpm build 
install older depending on requires lines. and without proper requires it 
could happen that package is installed (upgraded) earlier than apache that 
provides the functionality it needs. this leads to mess which average user is 
not capable of resolving manually. i don't think it's worth of that.

if it's *requirement* then there should be requires line :)

to sum this up, i think 'Provides: webserver = apache' has no value, and only 
'Provides: webserver' should be used, otherwise use Requires: apache
