Package: php5
Version: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In the description of php5-cli it says:
  "....This package provides the /usr/bin/php5 command interpreter, useful for
 testing PHP scripts from a shell, or perhaps even performing general
 shell scripting tasks, if you're frightened of perl and python..."

It has been requested on the Ubuntu devel-discuss ML [1] to make this more neutral.

I'm providing a patch to fix this inline:
