Ah... so you mean adding e.g. application/x-php (or whatever) but don't
use this with mod_php or normal CGI (where we'd still keep the
php5_cgi.{load,conf} then?)


Not sure about that...
I mean these types were removed for good reasons... and especially in
Apache people should at best stop using /etc/mime.types at all.
I somehow fear a bit,... that we might just end up with other new
(security?) issues being added.


Putting parts of PHP "configuration" (well I know it's not really that)
in other packages seems problematic to me.... IMHO the cleanest solution
would be, if PHP-packages add the necessary basic configuration to
installed webservers (ideally not only to Apache)... without activating
PHP.
The later then being done manually by the admin, or (more or less)
automagically by other packages.


Cheers,
Chris.
