You may misunderstand the way package dependencies work with APT.

The BackupPC package depends on (among other things): apache2 | httpd.
All other HTTP servers provide "httpd". Which means if you just install
BackupPC, you get sane default software (apache). But if you want to run
nginx or lighttpd or anything else, you can. Just choose to install it
before, or with, BackupPC.
