Comment 23 for bug 191251

I've just tried to install my own application on another computer and found out that I need to download the source code of the php project and compile it, because one person think that he is in charge of limiting users decision?!

The php5-embed package is a must imho. Whether it is within the main one is irrelevant. We need it.

Having one application to support is one, but having a public php-embed PPA and a custom application relying on it is different. You are restricting the developers and make installing custom applications harder for normal users.

Please, reconsider your position as it's wrong.
