Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

For my surprise I've noticed that php5-cli isn't compiled with SQLite support. SQLite is the best database system for desktop usage, for applications that are not running in a webserver. Firefox and Amarok use and depend on SQLite for storing data. So, since php5-cli is aimed to allow Ubuntu boxes to run PHP applications that are not meant to be web applications, the lack of SQLite is an important limitation. It is easy, light and reasonable to have SQLite in php5-cli.

So, I'd like to request that php5-cli binary to be compiled in future Ubuntu versions with SQLite enabled.
