Welcome and thank you for the response! Sorry, was not really sure which
one was the relevant package. "php-fpm" or "php8.4-fpm" seems to use a
different "php.ini" than PHP ran from the CLI. When PHP installed, there
are two "php.ini" created (it gets confusing):
cd /etc/php/
find -name "php.ini"
./8.4/cli/php.ini
./8.4/fpm/php.ini
and from what I remember they apply separately depending on whether PHP
is ran from the command line vs. if PHP is ran as a CGI server for a
webserver.
Admittedly, both CLI and FPM pull "php-common" so adding the dependency
to "php-common" should work.
As a case example, this is very easily discovered if you play around
with Docker, because "cron" is one of those packages that gets pulled
for right about any typical Debian install but on Docker, the "debian"
and "debian-slim" images obviously do not install "cron" in order to
keep the size down so installing PHP within the container will
immediately leads to this problem with the session files piling up.

Control: reassign -1 php-common
Thanks, this makes sense (although for a different package).
