Comment 2 for bug 708504

> Note that with such a large set of changes, it may be best to collaborate directly with the Debian php maintainers rather than us importing this version before them. There may already be work done in their git branches.

Hi, php5 5.3.5 will be uploaded to Debian after squeeze is released.

As usual we always appreciate any help with php5 packaging, but help with triaging and fixing bugs is more needed than just updating to new upstream versions.

So, (and this applies to anybody out there) if you feel like spending some free brain cycles, please open http://bugs.debian.org/php5 and test bugs, find fixes, cherry-pick from upstream svn, etc. This will be much appreciated, since we are always in need of help.
