The dependencies for axyl are:

# Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, debianutils (>= 1.6), bash (>= 2.0), php4 | 
php5, php4-cli | php5-cli, apache (>= 1.3) | apache-perl (>= 1.3) | apache-ssl 
(>= 1.3) | apache2, adduser (>= 3.58)

Quite a lot of this is useless.

The "debconf | debconf-2.0" part still makes sense, since the
transition to cdebconf is a way off yet.

Bash version 2.0+ has been in Debian's Essential list since 1997;
the only way this dependency could have any effect is on a mixed
Bo/Lenny system.  Likewise for debianutils 1.6, except that in this
case I think it's Hamm rather than Bo. 

The only Apache present in Lenny/Sid is apache2; likewise, PHP4 has
been removed from Sid, so the switch from "php4" to "php4 | php5"
(see #424782) can now be followed by a switch to plain "php5".

A dependency on adduser is reasonable, but specifying ">= 3.58" is
fairly pointless since that version predates the release of Sarge
(i.e. oldstable).  Mixed Woody/Lenny systems are conceivable, but
not officially supported.

So it boils down to:

  Depends: debconf | debconf-2.0, php5, php5-cli, apache2, adduser
