Why should a PHP 5.3 package provide PHP? To many libs are different,
and it would allow for the installation of something like php-ldap
from base to a php53 which provided the php dependency. That is not
how RPM's are supposed to work. PHP 5.1 is significantly different
enough to warrant a different package. Would you package postgres84 to
satisfy postgres? No, because it would be wrong. A more correct
solution would be to change the dependencies for the cross-php
packages to allow for a php or php53 to satisfy.
