You're right. I just forget "e.g." :)
Without dynamic dependencies, we could imagine a post-install script
that
interactively helps admin to install required dependencies, copy
config
files to the right places, init database... but it looks immoderate
for now
IMO.
My point is that the web server <-> PHP binding is not a dependency of
the application. Just like the X server is not a dependency of KDE.
I don't think we need to provide a post-install script either. It's not
like the admin doesn't need to customize things anyway, i.e. to specify
how the PHP app is hooked into the vhost mapping etc. We don't need to
do anything like that for Perl or Python based frameworks, so why
should
we have to do it for PHP?
