[php-maint] Bug#471336: libapache2-mod-php5: please consider providing debugging version without suhosin

[Marc Haber]

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.2.5-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

some authors of PHP applications claim that the suohsin patch might be
the cause for applications misbehavior. For debugging, it would be
good to have a PHP package version without suhosin patch applied.

Please consider generating such a package during your package build
process. Or, should this be impractical, document how to build a PHP
without suhosin from the Debian sources. This shuold be ideally be
controllable from a variable set in debian/rules so that re-building
is easy.

Thanks for considering this.

Greetings
Marc
