For a customer site, we need to be able to install apache2-mpm-prefork
and apache2-mpm-worker at the same time. Currently, this doesn't work
because of the Conflicts and hence the APACHE_HTTPD is of no use for
us.

We will most likely be using backports from backports.debian.org, so
we would even benefit from 2.2 packages that are co-installable. At
the moment we have to use patched packages which we would like to
avoid.

I'm putting Martin Zobel-Helas on Cc who is working with the customer.
I won't have time for the next weeks to work on this, maybe he can
provide a patch.
