Why is this? Why can't it just work?
If making one big libphp4.so that provides everything is the solution to
these problems then I think that is what has to be done.
The current state of PHP4 is very fragile, if there is any viable
alternative then I think that we should not release software in that
state. PHP3 is a very viable alternative and works fine. It seems that
most PHP software will with with either version.
Also could you please change the description of the packages to mention
that PHP4 is more fragile than PHP3. Otherwise people will just assume
that a bigger number means that the software will work better for them...
