Fred, thats good news. It seems there is already a Debian bug open about
packaging that new version, which I'll link.

Its highly unlikely FSF will re-license readline. It very specifically
has a GPL license so as to encourage software authors to use the GPL.

I see no issue at all with the php package.. libedit is really the only
piece of software preventing you from entering the characters. So,
marking the php5 task as Invalid.

** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
