[Bug 1025336] [NEW] installing php5-curl reloads apache *before* it's set up

[Alan Jenkins]

Public bug reported:

php5-curl tries to reload apache when it's installed.  I assume the idea
is to make the curl module available immediately.  But the reload comes
too early - before php5-curl is set up.  So I had to reload apache
manually in order to start using curl.

Maybe I'm wrong and there's some other reason for the reload :).  It
seems a pity to have to do the manual reload though, when we're already
seeing one automatic reload happen.

To see whether curl was enabled, I used a simple test PHP file:
  <?php phpinfo(); ?>
visited it in my web browser, and searched for "curl".

Here's the transcript.  If you already have php5-curl installed, you'll
need to *purge* it ("Remove completely"), before you can reproduce this.
