It would be nice if you update the depends that the pts deb can be installed with Debian stable. I always have to change those.

It would be nice if you update the depends that the pts deb can be installed with Debian stable. I always have to change those.

Is there a clean way to do like:

Depends: php-cli OR php5-cli

To work with both new/old Debian/Ubuntu? Haven't touched Debian packaging in quite a while.

You can use the | symbol. But one package is not available, so use that as Recommends.

You can use the | symbol. But one package is not available, so use that as Recommends.

So what would you do for something like this psuedo string:
Depends [or are you saying only use Recommends?]: (php-cli && php-xml| | (php5-cli && php5-xml)

There is no xml-xml or php-json in Jessie, therefore something like that:

I updated it as: https://github.com/phoronix-test-sui...9ebd95abc13414

the [PHP] GD support isn't actually required in a number of years but only optionally used, etc. Thanks for help on the packaging guideline.

The name is like usually after a place in Norway but still Loppa in swedish means flea and i don't want fleas.
Flea in Norwegian is loppe and the old spelling of Loppa is Loppen "the flea".

@Michael

You added a php5-xml depend, but that does not exist in Debian 8.
