My mistake. I was looking at the Woody version, not the latest unstable
version. (I'm not keen on running unstable, but developing on Woody has
severe disadvantages).

We'll wait and see what the PHP mini-policy comes out with before we go
shifting ourselves all over the place, but I think this much is BCP:
1) All PHP code intended to be used by other programs (outside the original
package) should go into /usr/share/php directly;
2) No /usr/share/php/<packagename> will be used;
3) Naming conflicts (and there will be some, I'm sure) will be sorted out
by dpkg and pistols at 30 paces. <grin>
