I agree with the general sentiment here, but I'm not sure about
encouraging a dependency on php-common specifically. The existence of
that package should be considered an implementation detail in how we
happen to package php (currently), I'd have thought.
For a PHP library (as in, collection of PHP code), this is more tricky.
We want to express a dependency on a particular language version. I'd
say php-api would be correct, but that is effectively useless since the
language evolves across minor releases, but the API version does not
have that granualarity.
Maybe a new dependency would be better, have php (and php53, etc) do:
Provides: php-language = %{version}
or something similar?
