Bug#898867: lintian: embedded-php-library libmarkdown-php vs. php-markdown confusion

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@debian.org>]

Felix Lechner dixit:

I don’t follow: movim in sid depends on php-markdown:

$ apt-cache rdepends -i php-markdown libmarkdown-php
php-markdown
Reverse Depends:
  movim
  movim
libmarkdown-php
Reverse Depends:

$ apt-cache policy php-markdown libmarkdown-php
php-markdown:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.8.0-1.1
  Version table:
     1.8.0-1.1 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main i386 Packages
libmarkdown-php:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.0.2-3
  Version table:
     1.0.2-3 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main i386 Packages

The one lintian recommends, libmarkdown-php, seems to not have any
users though *and* is older. If it has no reverse B-D either, it
probably should be removed.
