Reading [1] I get the impression that everything is done automatically. The source package php4-ps used to produce two binary packages php4-ps and php5-ps. Now that php4 isn't supported anymore, only php5-ps will be left, which is somewhat strange. A source package php4-ps produces a binary package php5-ps. That's why I created a new source package php-ps which produces php5-ps. Isn't this one of the cases where rene takes care of automatic removal?
