All Replaces: does is ensure that if you install apache-ssl-ywesee, then
apache, apache-common and apache-ssl are removed. What you want is to
add:

Provides: apache, apache-common, apache-ssl

This will tell the package manager that apache-ssl-ywesee has the same
functionality as the named packages, so that any dependency that relies
on one can depend on apache-ssl-ywesee instead.
