Yeah, that's my point as well!
Also, with the dependency set like as above, if you remove "apache2 | httpd", then apt / dpkg will pickup libapache2-mod-php5, which depends on apache2 anyway, so apache will be installed by default unless you explicitly install php5-cgi. This is why I think the solution of moving apache2 | http as a Recommends: is a good compromise. Never mind, it seems there's more people against my idea than some thinking it was a smart one, so I'll hack with equivs (which I didn't know) and see how it goes.
