[Bug 306398] [NEW] upgrading php5 package overwrites installed PEAR packages

[Michael Gauthier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

There was recently an update pushed to the php5 package. I installed
this update and it downgraded my installed version of PEAR. Upgrading
PHP for security/feature fixes in the PHP binary should not affect the
installed version of PEAR packages, especially if I have newer versions
installed. At the very least, I should be prompted to overwrite the old
versions.

Before updating the php5 package, I had PEAR 1.7.2 installed. After
updating, I had PEAR 1.6.1 installed.

** Affects: php5 (Ubuntu)
