Hi,

I have just noticed that some packages directly depend on libapache2-mod-php5
which basically disables the ability to use other SAPI (such as fastcgi, etc.)

Such packages probably need to depend just on php5 package which declares
dependency on:

  libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.4.1~rc1-1) |
  libapache2-mod-php5filter (>= 5.4.1~rc1-1) |
  php5-cgi (>= 5.4.1~rc1-1) |
  php5-fpm (>= 5.4.1~rc1-1)

One example is zoneminder which depends on:

  libapache2-mod-php5, php5

Here is should be changed either to:

  libapache2-mod-php5 | php5

or just:

  php5

Because php5 is not a virtual package it will install it's first dependency
by default which is libapache2-mod-php5, so the behaviour stays the same.

Another example is ukolovnik or moodle:

  libapache2-mod-php5 | php5-cgi

This dependency for example prevents usage of php5-fpm (FastCgi Process
Manager) SAPI, which is much better choice than php5-cgi.

Thank you,
Ondrej
