Package: php4-maxdb
Version: 7.5.00.30-1
Severity: serious
Justification: does not depend on packages it needs to function

The php4-maxdb dependencies on php4 are screwed up:

 Package: php4-maxdb
 Version: 7.5.00.30-1
 Section: web
 Priority: optional
 Architecture: ia64
 Depends: libc6.1 (>= 2.3.5-1), libsqldbc75 (>= 7.5.00.30),
        php4-cli (>= 4.4.0-1) | phpapi-20020918

Neither of these alternatives are correct.  phpapi-20020918 is *completely*
wrong; any php4 extension package uploaded in mid-August as this one was
does *not* use phpapi-20020918, it uses phpapi-20050606 (easily verified by
looking at the paths within the php4-maxdb package).  The php4-cli
dependency is also wrong, because while the *current* version of php4-cli
provides the correct ABI, future versions won't.

Please fix php4-maxdb to depend *only* on the correct phpapi virtual
package, as exported via php-config4 --phpapi from php4-dev.
