I always get that kind of reply. I agree in general to it, as it's true that the goal is to upload in SID. However, this package is currently installed and maintained on hundreds of servers running Etch and that's the reason why I try not to have things being different when running under SID or Etch. This is quite a nightmare to manage otherwise. I guess that you understand understand that we have imperatives of productions. Anyway, I do understand why you are requesting such thing, and I'll remove all dependencies to php4 for the SID upload. > So far as I can tell, no such package as php-cli has ever existed, > although maybe it's a defunct provides that predates oldstable. php5-cli > does not provide php-cli and neither did php4-cli in sarge. What problem > were you solving by including php-cli? Well, if I did add this dependency, it's because of the lintian warning that was requesting it. I was really surprised to see it as well, I thought it was a new thing in SID, so I've added php-cli and tried again. I think you'd better change the text message to make it more clear that only php5-cli is requested and nothing else, so nobody will do the same mistake that I did. Anyway, thanks for your quick reply, that helps a lot and I appreciate it. I'll change my package and I will ask my sponsor to review it once more.
