It "works" in that on a system with no PHP installed, it will generally give
you php4 and the appropriate modules. However, it is incorrect in that it
does not express the actual dependencies of the package, and so there are
many cases where it does not work.
For example, a system with php4-cgi and php5-mysql installed would satisfy
these dependencies, but would presumably not actually be able to run moodle.
