What I meant by my above statement, which could have indeed been
better written:
If you apt-get install Apache, apt will install the other packages
that Apache needs. If you apt-get remove apache though, apt will only
remove apache while leaving the remaining packages installed.

root at einstein apt-get install apache
The following extra packages will be installed:
  apache-common apache2-utils libapr0

root at einstein apt-get remove apache
The following packages will be REMOVED
  apache
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Kind Regards,
