Package: apache
Version: 1.3.34-4
Severity: important
Although the file apache_1.3.34-4_i386.deb contains /etc/init.d/apache
running dpkg -i apache_1.3.34-4_i386.deb does not result in it showing up
in the directory. If I only do an unpack, the file
/etc/init.d/apache.dpkg-new shows up but then when I do dpkg --config apache
it goes away.

You already have apache installed and, at some point, you deleted the
init script. "deleted" is considered a valid user modification for a
conffile, so dpkg is respecting that and keeping it deleted. There are
two options to work around that.
1) Purge apache, then reinstall (dpkg -P apache && dpkg -i
apache_1.3.34-4_i386.deb)
2) Install with missing conffiles (dpkg -i --force-confmiss
apache_1.3.34-4_i386.deb)
