It installs an ini file to declare the extension into /usr/share/php5/kolab. It then uses dpkg-maintscript-helper and ucf to place the ini file into /etc/php/mods-available, and finally php5{en|dis}mod to enable/disable the module.

Hello Ondřej,

Thanks a lot for your time. I'll take this back to the KDE guys and see if we can take the next step.

Thanks,
