IIRC I have removed P: apache from apache1.spec...  IMO providing an
existant package name (and using it as virtual dependency) is a *bad
thing*.  "R: webserver = apache" should be used when needed.

R: webserver = apache
C: apache1 < ...

"= apache" doesn't hurt, and I've added it for a reason (something
required apache, but both versions were OK).

R: apache, meaning apache1 or apache2, should be shot dead and buried.

Of course, if an application requires *any* HTTP server, just "R:
webserver" should be used.  Not that many of our specs are prepared
for it, but that's another story.
