You can replace the symlinks with empty files. The package manager should then refuse to overwrite them. It _looks_ wrong (why are these non-active extensions in ext-active?), but it's the easiest solution. I think the default should be for the extensions to be per-SAPI disabled and for users to enable them by creating the symlinks. (The "ext" and "ext-active" design screams this.) That would be an easy change to php-ext-source-r3.eclass but risks breaking everyone's web servers if we do it without news items and/or ewarnings. There's nobody in the PHP project at the moment. If you want to make an -r4 of the eclass and handle the paperwork, by all means...
