Well, the only precedent we have for this is one which I myself set a while ago with the subversion-apache2 package. Personally, I think of it as a package which _is_ PHP, and happens to interface with apache2, so I placed the bit which seemed more significant to me first. My guess is that naming it php-something is better than something-php, because it will help people who go looking for just "php" to find it. Max.
