While it looks like that=92s the expected behaviour right now, I don=92t =
agree that it=92s good behaviour.  What if someone wants phpMyAdmin =
using mod_php5 but also wants the CGI and/or FPM versions installed for =

And closed almost as fast as it was opened.  Since the whole point of =
WANT_PHP_{WEB,CGI,MOD} is for setting dependencies, I can=92t see how it =
can be claimed that this =93works as intended=94 when dependencies =
aren=92t properly set.
