I don't know what the status of Turbo is, but he is upstream and/or was the Debian maintainer. > An alternative provider of the > functions idn_to_ascii() and idn_to_utf8() appears to be supplied by the > PHP extension intl in the (official?) PECL repository: > http://php.net/manual/en/ref.intl.idn.php But it is still missing some of the functions provided by php-idn $ grep PHP_FUNCTION idn.c PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_name) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_kerberos5) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_node) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_resource) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_plain) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_trace) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_sasl) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_prep_iscsi) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_punycode_encode) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_punycode_decode) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_to_ascii) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_to_utf8) PHP_FUNCTION(idn_to_unicode) PHP_FUNCTION(tld_check) PHP_FUNCTION(tld_get) PHP_FUNCTION(tld_get_table) Not sure if any function other than _to_ascii and _to_utf8 are used, though. > > I suggest the removal of the package php-idn once PHP 5.3 and a package > for the intl extension is available.

No matter whether php 5.2.x or 5.3.x is shipped in squeeze, the intl extension is very likely to get its own package (php5-intl) so there's only one transition to be planned.
