Hi Luis,

Yes, I also had this problem with the php-horde-* packages.
I have created a bug about this (656960) until we find a correct solution.

This is one solution. Another one: For the php-horde-* packages, they
depend on the pear-horde-channel package which include the registred
channel.

I don't know which solution is better. Perhaps we need another easier solution

I should investigate this one.

Yes, you are[*]. And I am doing something completely horrible also ;-)
