Hmm, it seems I misread http://wiki.debian.org/binNMU. There would only have been a problem if an arch any package depended on an arch all package, but apache2 has only the other direction.

The problem I see is that you can deinstall one mpm and install another without touching apache2.2-common. So the mpm packages need to call the init script. The alternative to have the init script in every mpm package would probably be worse.
