I learned at DebConf one very important lesson:  The worst problem in
Debian is a social problem of a lack of communication.  This is just
one flavour of it. :)

This is what I guessed.  There is much paranoia about Ubuntu around just
because a lack of communication.  I tried to fix this by my "mass CC list"
and I hope we can settle down soon by a package in unstable.  Just tell me
if you are convinced that the package are fit for an upload.

I have to admit that I can't comment on this PHP stuff because I do not
have the slightest experience with PHP.
My persinal and perhaps naive intention would be to get something working
in the first place and upgrade it later.  Feel free to ignore this opinion
of an outsider if you have stronger reasons to do it in an other way.

Thanks for your work on MediaWiki

          Andreas.
