Details

It would be good to write a message in post_install about optional depencies.
lighttpd's one is a good model:

--> for the following OPTIONAL modules (when choosen from lighttpd.conf)
--> you will need the following dependencies:
mod_webdav : libxml2, sqlite3
mod_cml: libmemcache, lua
mod_trigger_b4_dl: libmemcache, gdbm
mod_auth.so: openldap
mod_mysql_vhost: mysql
This task depends upon

Agree. And please remove openldap dependency finally - it is _optional_.

Replace it with libldap. I think we should have these client libs separated, I don't want to have a complete mysql server installed when my client program just happens to link to libmysqlclient.so, same for postgresql.

My opinion is the same.
But anyway AFAIK openldap is needed only for php_openldap.so - so it is optional. I run php without openldap installed, openldap is only needed when you uncomment php_openldap.so in php.ini.
