php5-memcached now depends on php-pear which depends on php5-cli

[Jacek]

Hello,

In ubuntu 14.04 php5-memcached depends on php-pear
php-pear depends on php-cli.
This means that php5-memcached will trigger installation od php-cli.
This is unneeded for many systems, also this was not the case in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS where php5-memcached did not depend on php-pear.

Ubuntu: 14.04.1 LTS

Package versions:
php5-memcached 2.1.0-6build1
php-pear 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.4

dpkg -s php5-memcached | grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libmemcached10, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), php5-common (>= 5.2.0), php5-common (<< 6.0.0), php-pear (>= 1.4.0~b1), phpapi-20121212, ucf

dpkg -s php-pear | grep Depends
Depends: php5-common (>= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.4), php5-cli

Can this dependency be removed please?
We need to use php5-memcached with php5-fpm we don't need php5-cli, it should not be required.
