this is intentional. Normally, packages depending on apache2-common 
will not work with apache 2.2 (think binary modules).

So, this is a bug in phpix (#438903, actually). It may even be 
appropriate for an update in a stable point release.

But for now, the easiest fix is to recompile phpix with the dependency 
apache2-common changed to apache2. If you use php5, you can probably 
also download the phpix package from lenny an use that.

Cheers,
Stefan
