As far as I have understood packages should not depend directly on
these packages. Only packages that provide a php module should
do that.

So I do not think this is a good solution, or do you have some other
information on what the current policy is?

I think it is pretty good to depend on php4 and php5 directly as
it has been seen that it is not trivial to switch. You will most
certainly see a number of problems when switching. That is what
my experience is anyway. :)
