It was definitely interesting!

Indeed, it seems to be supported, I tested it.

Thanks for pointing that out

On rapper[1], I have added raptor2-utils as a suggested package.
I also added a related smoke test.

On redland[2], the php binding for the library, I see the binding is
not yet packaged on Debian; but it is nice to see there is support for
it on EasyRdf. I still see a related parser class for it,
lib/EasyRdf/Parser/Redland.php, so it probably works, but again the
dependency is not yet on Debian. If in the future it is packaged, a
change similar to the one I made for rapper can be done.
