I'm fairly certain from experience that the vast majority of users are running non-packaged PHP on their systems, which is a completely normal use case. They should be informed of the changes in PHP versions. I see no issue here. Cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
