Yes, you're right. PHP_API_VERSION value is checked by some modules:
i.e.: ext/pdo/pdo_dbh.c:
#if PHP_API_VERSION >= 20041225
zval *object = *object_pp;
#endif
So, I see the php5-pdo package have to depend on phpapi-NN _and_
zendmoduleapi-NN. I belive that Zend extension package should depend on
phpapi-NN and zendextensionapi-NN. Probably one value is not enough and the
packages should check two ABIs versions.
I think we should rely on real values that are shown by PHP itself (phpinfo
and phpize), not the internally computed by Debian package.
