Comment 2 for bug 608146

phpapi-20090626 is provided by 4 packages: libapache2-mod-php5filter, php5-cli, php5-cgi, libapache2-mod-php5

Arbitrarily choosing the first does not seem very helpful here (in a cross-building context). I'm not sure if this dep is genuinely required for cross-building, but it seems senisble to choose php5-cli as the most appropriate way of running anything that needs it.

This looks like an instance of a set of cases where there is a choice of fulfillers of a virtual dep, and 'best' answer should be selected for cross-building. Adding a set of mappings for these choices would seem like the right solution, probably via xdeb.cfg
