i don't know. i don't use that. i just unified.

for apache specific one there is another provides line. (provides webserver = 
apache)

and even that one is useless with version. because if you can't do anything 
useful with that. if you need apache1 version, then you just write req: 
apache > 1.3.33-3. if you need apache2 version you specify apache > 2.0.44 
and apache1 not matched already.

btw, apache.spec reads:
Revision 1.318  2004/08/24 16:14:28  radek
- removed version from "Provides: webserver" (pointless)
