Public bug reported:
The /var/lib/dpkg/info/php8.3-cli.postinst has following segment:
phpini="/etc/php/8.3/cli/php.ini"
if [ "cli" = "cli" ]; then
ucf /usr/lib/php/8.3/php.ini-production.cli $phpini
else
ucf /usr/lib/php/8.3/php.ini-production $phpini
fi
which obviously effectively runs
ucf /usr/lib/php/8.3/php.ini-production.cli /etc/php/8.3/cli/php.ini
However, since this is done without using the ucf flag --three-way, the
system cannot help merge files in future update that might need to
upgrade this file.
On the other hand, all the much smaller files in /usr/lib/php/8.3/conf.d
appear to have the --three-way enabled so end users get much better
support for small 3–5 lines long files but not for the main file!
The same thing appears to affect package libapache2-mod-php8.3, too, but
I would assume it's actually generated from the same source files given
the weird looking if statement.
