Package: php5
Version: 5.0.4-3
Severity: minor

I think the php5-SAPI packages should provide
phpapi-NN, zendmoduleapi-NN and zendextensionapi-NN
virtual packages.

The zendmoduleapi_version defines API for PHP extension modules, the
zendextensionapi_version defines API for Zend extension modules. 

The zendextensionapi_version is not important for PHP extensions. The
change of this value shouldn't force to recompile PHP extension package.

phpapi_version is used only internally and doesn't matter.

The current alghoritm (pick the greatest number and generate own phpapi
version) is misleading as far as `php -i' and `phpize --version' reports
completly different version. It makes a troubles in future when will be
available some package with ZEND extension and makes diagnostic harder
as far as dl() function reports ZEND_MODULE_API_NO in error message if
this value doesn't compare between PHP and extension.

My proposition:

The PHP extension packages should depends on zendmoduleapi-NN, the ZEND
extension packages should depends on zendextensionapi-NN. Please, do not
mix these values.

One value is enough, when the one we're using is always the most
recently changed of the bunch, hence my decision to do things the way I did.

What we use is a "real value", it just happens to be the "most recently
revved value of all the 'real values' from PHP".  As we've both noted,
some of these values seem to be used in a haphazard and interchangeable
way, so the only reasonably safe way for us to do package dependencies
and extension directories is to do it this way.

This isn't something that's really exposed to end users in any way,
confusing or otherwise, so I don't see the issue.  It's a minor detail
for packaging convenience, nothing more.  If people packaging php[45]
modules for Debian can't figure this one out, I daresay they should find
a different hobby that's less taxing on the brain.
