I'm happy to spend the time getting the PLD method working (including splitting
off Archive_Tar, XML_RPC and Console_Getopt) in Fedora style, but only if we can
jointly agree in principle that that's a good thing, and I know Joe was against
it before, which is why we need to discuss that. There is an interesting
circular dependency there too (PEAR <-> Archive_Tar) which could be fun with mock.

I can't readily see how php-pear and php-pear-PEAR could/would be separated, or
what that would mean. Remember too (further to my earlier comments) that the
"PEAR installer" isn't just the CLI frontend: it's also a PHP library backend
for integration with other software - calls direct to the installer's back-end
API *are* used by other packages (for example PEAR_Command_Packaging, or the
not-yet-RPM-packaged s9y).
That said, the current php-pear package does Provide php-pear(PEAR), so if such
a thing did become meaningful in future, we already have the mechanism to do it
in a reasonably BC way.
