| 
| Yes, what else would it depend on?

a specific version of apache2, much as the previous versions of the apache2 
package had done.  with apache2, version 2.2.3-2, there's no need to ever 
change the package again (for the most part).

| | also, if another package depends on apache2 (>=2.2) then the apache2

| | apache2 package's version.
| 
| Why would any package depend on apache (>= 2.2)?

any package that might take advantage of any number of features in apache2.2 
not in apache2.0...  there's a list here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html

also, according to the report in bug 340770, that bug was fixed in apache2 
2.2.3-1, but upgrading apache2 doesn't actually do anything, the version 
reported as having the fix doesn't actually have a fix, since installing this 
version doesn't do anything.
