I don't really believe that. People frequently do automated builds of
the entire archive from scratch . There cannot be true circular build
dependencies. That's the reason why the circular Qt <-> unixODBC
dependency isn't resolved yet.

Of course, on Debian, this whole discussion is moot anyway because the
php-pgsql client module is built from an independent source package for
other historic reasons.
