Hmm, it seems I misread http://wiki.debian.org/binNMU. There would 
only have been a problem if an arch any package depended on an arch 
all package, but apache2 has only the other direction.

The problem I see is that you can deinstall one mpm and install 
another without touching apache2.2-common. So the mpm packages need 
to call the init script. The alternative to have the init script in 
every mpm package would probably be worse.
