That sounds like a very plausible reason why it won't work. Versions in
dependencies are usually there for a reason.

php4 has had problems getting into testing for a long time now, mainly
because it and other Apache-related packages all have to be in sync with
the current version of Apache before any of them can be moved into
testing. This will be fixed before release (at least, it had better be).

testing has gone a bit weird over the last day, mind you. Most of it
seems to be fixed now ...
