I don't believe this is true. Since 'apache' does provide 'httpd', there's
no need to specify 'apache' since having it installed will satisfy the
'httpd' dependency.

This could indeed be true. Installing 'php4' will also pull in one of the
libapache-mod-php4s, but apt will choose to prefer the libapache2 module
when both are not installed. Adding this extra option seems like a good
idea. Maybe Jeroen as a php4-maintainer can add something to this?

As noted in the documentation, this is a transitional measure for
woody-sarge upgrades, and the dependency will be downgraded to a
recommends upon the next upload to sid.
