You can as well do this with a very simple PHP script. Shared hosting is
all about watching what people are doing and making sure you fire the
bad people.

Thanks for enlightening our ignorance here! Do you know that this is the
debian-isp list here?

As much as I can see here:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=linux4michelle@tamay-dogan.net
you are not maintainer for any package yet in Debian, which might be why
you don't understand how much it's important to have an upstream that is
reactive, if you want to get a chance to correct bugs in your package.

You don't understand how Debian works. It's NOT the role of the security
team to do maintenance, that's the work of the maintainer. Sure, you can
contact the security team if you find a hole, but there's a very good
chance that they will get in touch with the package maintainer for
patching. And anyway, just look into the archive, and you might see 100s
of packages using PHP.

Which you can't decide for them. I don't understand on what you are
basing on to say that ANY of the file managers will be rejected. This is
just plain wrong, lucky the security team and the ftp masters are not
that stupid.

There's a way too many file managers around, which is exactly why I
asked here for opinion. If you can't answer, leave others the freedom to
do it. That being said, it's not because you don't know them that none
of them is good for what I want to do...

Which is why I asked here for opinions!!!

Why would the security team reject some packages just based on the
language use to write the app? That makes absolutely no sense, and I can
tell you that this is NOT the case!!! Look into the archive, and see how
many packages are using Java! The following is enough to prove you are
wrong here:
~$ apt-cache search java | wc -l
932
