Subject: apache2: (Legacy?) "Depends: apache2-data (= ${source:Version})," in debian/control breaks binNMU builds.

Dear Maintainer,

(re)building apache2 as binNMU (i.e. with appending "+b<someNumber> to the package version")
works, but installation of the resulting apache2 package fails due to the following dependency
in debian/control:

Depends: apache2-data (= ${source:Version}),

It causes apt-get to look for the dependency "apache2-data" (= 2.4.57-2) which does not exist
in the newly built packages. Instead, the dependency should be satisfied by "apache2-data (= 2.4.57-2+b<someNumber>)".

The folliwing patch fixes the issue:

Please consider applying the patch.

This is wrong. apache2-data is an Architecture: all package, but apache2
is Architecture: any. So using ${source:Version} here is correct. Note
that Debian does not currently support binNMUs for Architecture: all
packages, so apache2-data will never have a +bX version.

Cheers
