As you already say: mantis depends on apache OR httpd. Therefore it already depends on an "abstract web server package" as you tell it, because httpd is a meta-package that can be provided by any webserver that likes to provide it. If your webserver is a package then you should let it provide, if not then you can use equivs to create a dummy package to fulfill the dependency.
