[php-maint] Bug#668157: memory_limit cannot be set to -1 when php5-suhosin is installed.

Having the memory_limit set to -1 in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini while running php5-suhosin will cause the logs to fill up with error messages every time a php script attempts to grow its memory limit using php_ini().

Therefore, it is recommended to set the global limit to a reasonable value and define suhosin.memory_limit to the required value in any script that requires more memory that the global limit. If this cannot be done for backward compatibility reasons, then I suggest to remove the "Suggests: php5-suhosin" from php5-common.

Thanks,
François Beaulieu
