So have an empty package named php5 that depends on php5core,
php5session, etc?  Then stop updating php5 at some point in the
future?  That works, but leaves the dangling (although harmless) php5
empty package.  Is there a way to handle it other than this?

I like the extra granularity that Mike introduced, but if users break
their setups (or waste time sorting it out, anyway), they may not be
very happy.

Thanks
