By changing debian/control so that it "Suggests" the web server rather than depends on it you could setup a distributed monitoring system with Nagios as listed on the Nagios documentation[1]. Also it made more sense to change the "Depends" to "nagios-plugins | netsaint-plugins (>= 1.2.9.4-7)" rather than as a "Suggests" or "Recommends" as Nagios doesn't make much sense without them...
