Re: squirrelmail package in lenny

[Benjamin Vetter <vetter@plainpicture.de>]

imho, deborphan only tells you which packages are not used by other 
packages on your system.
but in the case i told, the etch php4 package is used (by squirrelmail) 
under lenny (when you upgrade from etch to lenny).
Therefore deborphan does not show it.

the squirrelmail package allows you to use the old etch php4 package, 
though there is no php4 within lenny.
therefore, the php package won't get updated, ever.

right?
