[php-maint] Bug#321283: php5: SAPIs packages should provide zendmoduleapi-NN than phpapi-NN

[Piotr Roszatycki]

Package: php5
Version: 5.0.4-3
Severity: minor

I think the php5-SAPI packages should provide
phpapi-NN, zendmoduleapi-NN and zendextensionapi-NN
virtual packages.

The zendmoduleapi_version defines API for PHP extension modules, the
zendextensionapi_version defines API for Zend extension modules. 

The zendextensionapi_version is not important for PHP extensions. The
change of this value shouldn't force to recompile PHP extension package.

phpapi_version is used only internally and doesn't matter.

The current alghoritm (pick the greatest number and generate own phpapi
version) is misleading as far as `php -i' and `phpize --version' reports
completly different version. It makes a troubles in future when will be
available some package with ZEND extension and makes diagnostic harder
as far as dl() function reports ZEND_MODULE_API_NO in error message if
this value doesn't compare between PHP and extension.

My proposition:

The PHP extension packages should depends on zendmoduleapi-NN, the ZEND
extension packages should depends on zendextensionapi-NN. Please, do not
mix these values.
