i'm open to doing a "conf-enabled" vs "conf.d" approach, but i'm a little 
weary of the specifics in the implementation... if only because we released 
for etch with the current setup, i'd like something that was a little closer 
to that for the sake of consistancy.   

in my opinion, i think we should keep the SAPI/conf.d symlinks pointing at 
conf.d, and have a seperate directory where the conffiles go like 
conf-available.d or similar, and then manage the symlinks into conf.d.

or, maybe your method is better...  i get the feeling this is mostly a 
subjective matter.  what do other pkg-php people think?

i don't think that requires a pre-depends, unless you're doing stuff in the 
preinst/config scripts.  by the time the postinst is run, a normal depends 
should suffice to ensure that the scripts are available.
