The Alioth tracker isn't actively used anymore, the Debian BTS is a much
better place to report issues.

While we can't introduce the PHP binding in an update for wheezy, I've
added the PHP binaries based on patch and updated it for PHP5 used in
jessie.

php5-geos is a more appropriate name, in line with other PHP extension
packages.

The package will need to pass the NEW queue after which it will make its
way into the archive.

Kind Regards,

Bas
