[Bug 634359] [NEW] php-pear should depend on php5-dev

[Behnam Esfahbod "ZWNJ"]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: php5

Most of PECL packages require /usr/bin/phpize and some other php5-dev
files to get installed/compiled (i.e. pecl/fribidi), but php5-dev is not
always installed.

The worst issue is that /usr/bin/pecl (or "/usr/bin/pear install
pecl/...") doesn't give user any clue on how to resolve the problem.

A simple solution is to add php5-dev to php-pear's dependencies.
Another one is to introduce another package, php-pecl, that contains
/usr/bin/pecl and set php5-dev as a dep of php-pecl.
