Dunno.. Who's the package maintainer for debian?  Anyone, Anyone?

As it should be.. this actually should be in stable...

7.3-dev was an experiment gone bad, it was *never* meant for production
use and is not, will not be maintained or supported.  It needs to be
dropped from debian ASAP.

Yes, 7.3-dev is old, it's a copy of the php-lib CVS branch from a long
time ago, eg: pre-7.2c  Again folks: Please don't use this version!  (It
has bugs-a-plenty and the session data has a different format that is
incompatible with the current 7.2x session stuff)

Yes.. we're working on that for 7.4 which can make its way into testing,
unstable, etc...

When will this be out?  I dunno.  We're all a bit busy but I'll see if we
can at least get a -pre tarball out in the coming week.  Anyone wishing to
test the php-lib-stable CVS module from SourceForge is welcome and
*please* submit bug reports.  This module has seen a lot of attention from
Richard Archer (Thanks Richard!) who's trying to fix stupidities,
broken-ness and other evil things.

Session4, Session4-custom and User4 will all move into 7.4 sometime soon,
but are availible from the php-lib CVS module now for anyone wanting to
try them.
