sure. if i understand you correctly, the nagios packages do something
like this. there's a source package nagios, which generates a
nagios-text, nagios-mysql, and nagios-pgsql using such a method.
fwiw, i don't think we need a dh-make-php4 and dh-make-php5, but
instead ought to just havea cmdline flag to specify the version
or something...
