It is just eaccelerator being dummy. I guess they added that dummy
check so when ABI changes occur the extension is recompiled.
You should either patch the code so no such dummy check is performed
at all or add something like ${php:Depends} in the package's control
file and on rules do:
echo "php:Depends=php5-common (=`dpkg-query -W
--showformat='${Version}\n' php5-common`" >>
debian/package-name.substvars
This of course must be done before dh_gencontrol is called.
P.D. is it the eaccelerator packager what you are trying to package or
is it the accelerator extension itself? In case you are working on the
latter please search the archives because it is not currently possible
to redistribute it because of copyright problems.
