No problem, thanks for your attention.

Just to clarify: This is a *change* in behaviour. Previously, PHP5 did
not depend on Apache. Now it does, and it potentially breaks servers
which use lighttpd instead of apache.

I already had PHP5 & lighttpd installed, there were previously no
dependency issues. A simple apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade , if
I had have confirmed it, would have BROKEN my system.

Surely that's not wishlist territory? I thought wishlist was for "stuff
that it was never supposed to do, but would be nice". Whereas this is
something that used to work, but now doesn't.
