You shouldn't do this blindly.  Some packages specifically need httpd and not just any webserver.  This needs to be analyzed and reported on a case by case basis.  As you can imagine, this is a lot of careful analysis from the packager's perspective as well.  I know and can ensure some package I maintain works with httpd.  I don't know even know how to start some of the others much less actively test it for each release.  This is why a lot of package maintainers just depend on httpd directly.
