PHP4 was removed from testing and unstable several months ago:
http://wiki.debian.org/PHP4Removal

Continuing to use PHP4 in testing/unstable will require workarounds.

The libphp-adodb dependency is currently unversioned and installing an
older package works, as you have already seen.  libphp-adodb versions
less than 5.05-1 are not available in testing and unstable which would
render the package unusable for the majority of users.
