How did this effect packages like php-file and php-mime-mail (see bugs :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-file/+bug/86830 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-mail-mime/+bug/86831), which
currently depend on php4-pear, but build fine against php-pear?  I assume
they've been removed from the archive, but can be added back in with trivial
changes.  There may be other php modules with similar problems, as well (I
only found these 2 because they are recommended/suggested by the horde3 web
suite).
