Any chance of changing that package name slightly?  Most PHP libraries have
taken the libphp-<foo> path, rather than just php-<foo>.  I think this is a
good naming convention to follow, personally.

You can get a little more explicit than that:
http://pear.php.net/package/DB.

Perhaps "Database abstraction module for PHP"?  Then put the stuff about it
being the PEAR standard as the beginning of the long description?

And I've got a SQLRelay abstractor for you, as well, which upstream rejected
because "SQLRelay is an abstraction layer of it's own", if you want it.

Thanks for packaging this, BTW.  Now I can make dependencies on this package
instead of hacking 'pear install' commands (blech!)...
