Hmm, the Debian PHP Policy draft says:
PHP libraries should be located in /usr/share/php/PACKAGE. for
packages that depend on a specific version of php libraries can be
placed in /usr/share/phpPHPVERSION
http://webapps-common.alioth.debian.org/draft-php/html/ch-php-libs.html
And Xapian's PHP5 bindings certainly wouldn't work with PHP4 (though
I realise that's obsolete now) so it seems that by that document we
should be indeed be installing in /usr/share/php5
It also says:
The default PHP include path is:
.:/etc/php:/usr/local/share/php/5.0:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php/5.0:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/share/php
Which doesn't match current reality, though it does then note:
XXX: this still needs to be solidified.
The package naming conventions it documents don't really match those
actually in use either.
I'm rapidly concluding that this document is actually unhelpful as a
guide for packaging PHP related stuff.

I think it's a definite bug - I'll sort it out for lenny.
