Hi, Piotr

If I would like to package one pear module,   example  DB.
I will use dh-make-php DB.tgz    , or something else.
DB  is  compatible with php4 and php5,,,  then files will be put in  
/usr/share/php/db ?

and if DB  just works  with >= php5  ?   files will be put in 
/usr/share/php5 ? 

is this correct ?
