Package: php5-xapian
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: serious

Heya,

today I installed php5-xapian and after realizing it's not working I
jumped to /etc/php5/conf.d:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /etc/php5/conf.d/
total 36
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57 2008-06-20 10:28 mysqli.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56 2008-06-20 10:28 mysql.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 2008-06-20 10:28 pdo.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 2008-06-20 10:28 pdo_mysql.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65 2008-06-20 10:28 pdo_pgsql.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62 2008-06-20 10:28 pdo_sqlite.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61 2008-06-20 10:28 pgsql.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58 2008-06-20 10:28 sqlite.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58 2008-03-23 03:57 xapian

Now, you can see that the only difference in there for xapian is the
missing .ini extension. 
php5 will NOT use xapian until you rename that file to xapian.ini.

Ok, here comes the rationale:
 1. If you are installing that file there, I'm pretty sure you missed
the .ini extension
 2. Users expect the module to just work™, they are installing it for
that in 90% of cases. If they want to install it but disable it, they
know how for sure.
 3. If you don't expect the module to be auto enabled on install, then
put xapian.ini somewhere else, or with the contents commented or
something

Hopefully lenny can be released with this fixed, so I hope no one minds
I set a high severity (kind of new with BTS policy still).
I can give a hand providing a fix in case you don't have the time, let
me know.

Thank you
