php5-common conflicts and provides php5-json

[Jess Portnoy]

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.2.6-2ubuntu4
Severity: normal

php5-common includes the JSON PHP extension. From the description of the
pacakage ("Common files for packages built from the php5 source..") and
the Debian convention it is not apparent why this should be
a dependency, also, why should it conflict any other packages providing
php5-json.
