No, I really meant what I wrote. The new version of php-pear, when
calling "pear install", which I believe is used most of the time, uses
{docs,tests} and not {doc,test} like before. This is what took me by
surprise: in Lenny, no problem, it goes to {doc,test}, but in
Squeeze/SID, it goes to {docs,tests}. At least this is what happened for
me with php-mail-mime.

I'd have to investigate to see if this is a general behavior, as I
believe that MANY pear packages currently in the archive *could* now
have the issue if they are rebuilt. Would this be a reason good enough
to update all PEAR packages in Squeeze, so we fix the situation? Or can
we live with just the source package being wrong, and the binary being
ok? Let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

On my side, I'm adding an rm -rf of these folders on the Debian git of
all of my PEAR packages, in order to not forget it if I have to upload
fixes.
