Due to the nature of our testing migration packages can get lost in
the case the Debian version did not build on amd64. When Debian moves
such a version from unstable to testing our archive removes our old
testing version and has nothing to put in its place.

My first guess would be that this happened to one of the build-depends
of apache2.


Run "apt-cache show-src apache2" and install the build-depends manualy
to see which one is missing. You might also just try using sid.
