I've tested and using it without problems.
I see the Ubuntu patch moves exmplicitly to php5.
-Depends: ${misc:Depends}, php4 (= 4.1.0) | php4-cgi (= 4.1.0), php4-pgsql
(= 4.1.0) | php4-mysql (= 4.1.0), php4-gd, apache | httpd, php4-cli,
wwwconfig-common (= 0.0.7), mimetex
+Depends: ${misc:Depends}, php5 | php5-cgi, php5-pgsql | php5-mysql, php5-gd,
apache2 | httpd, php5-cli, wwwconfig-common (= 0.0.7), mimetex
Would it not be better to depend on php4 or php5 rather than force people
to upgrade to PHP5?
Moodle isn't the only PHP application I'm using on my web server and I'd
rather not move up to PHP5 just now when all is working with PHP4.

Possibly, but it is quite tricky to express this correctly using the
available dependency relationships.

Yes, I agree with you, as you can see I said add php5, not
exclusively.
That'd make it easy for those who only want php5 and not php4 too.
Moodle isn't the only PHP application I'm using on my web server and I'd
rather not move up to PHP5 just now when all is working with PHP4.
Sure, that's what i meant.

It works in that on a system with no PHP installed, it will generally give
you php4 and the appropriate modules. However, it is incorrect in that it
does not express the actual dependencies of the package, and so there are
many cases where it does not work.
For example, a system with php4-cgi and php5-mysql installed would satisfy
these dependencies, but would presumably not actually be able to run moodle.

I've moved to something like this and left to the user the responsibility to get
a sensible set of packages. If I get bug reports which are caused by these
loose Depends: I'll move to the Depends: to php5 too.
Best regards

If that doesn't work out, another possible solution would be to provide
-php4 and -php5 flavours (or metapackages for the dependencies).
