Yes I fault their failure to test, but I also fault Debian for
producing the broken package in the first place. Unless I'm wrong,
they have even more testers than Ubuntu, so there's enough blame to go
around. In this case even the simplest test would fail (phpinfo()
segfaults!), so they tossed it over the wall after packaging. I'm not
impressed with either Debian's or Ubuntu's testing procedures.
