 How are you supposed to emerge PEAR packages today ?

According to this
http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-php-overlay/file/docs/php-upgrading.html?format=raw
we have to live with that situation as long as dev-lang/php becomes
stable.

I had to switch to dev-lang/php because of oracle-instantclient-basic
and ran into the same PEAR issues. Problem is that new dev-lang/php
pretty much implies unstable PEAR - that's what I am running right now.
Here's what I have in my package.keywords to freeze these unstables as
long as they become stable:

=dev-lang/php-4.4.1-r2 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-Archive_Tar-1.3.2 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-Console_Getopt-1.2-r1 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-DB-1.7.6-r1 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-Log-1.9.3 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-Mail_Mime-1.3.1-r1 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6-r1 ~x86
=dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.4.4 ~x86


 After upgrading, portage wanted to install dev-lang/php, so I done it remove 
 some blocking packages, including dev-php/php and dev-php/mod_php.
 Now emerging PEAR-XML_Parser or PEAR-DB wants to emerge dev-php/php back, 
 what 
 I am supposed to do ?
 Thank you.

I had this question yesterday (See the Blocking weirdness thread).
This worked for me:

dev-php/PEAR-DB ~x86

I assume you could do this with whatever PEAR package you wanted...
