Same here. However, I think the relevant files in etc/php.d should be 
automatically removed when the package is uninstalled (except if it was 
modified). That way, if a sysadmin explicitly disabled the module (or 
changed its default configuration), it will not be enabled by default 
again.

There is the issue that PHP will complain if the module is uninstalled 
but still enabled - however we have this problem already.

HTH,
