I would actually prefer that such PEAR packages *not* be prefixed with 'php4', since they normally are not at all specific to version 4 of the engine and do not come from the php4 source package itself. But a prefix of 'php-' seems fine. There's no formal policy on any of this yet, but this is certainly the way I personally lean right now. > 2.

Probably worth looking into if somebody has interest in PEAR.
