That bug submitter was misguided. the phpapi virtual package is not intended for use by apps written in php; please use the packages 'php4' and/or 'php5' for this, > I take it you are saying this is not the correct way to create this > dependency, but I can't see why not. Because the API changes every time a new upstream version of PHP comes out that changes any of the extension interfaces, and these interfaces are completely irrelevant to libphp-adodb which means you'll have to re-upload libphp-adodb every time PHP changes!
