Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

In the description of php5-cli it says:
  "....This package provides the /usr/bin/php5 command interpreter, useful for
 testing PHP scripts from a shell, or perhaps even performing general
 shell scripting tasks, if you're frightened of perl and python..."

It has been requested on the devel-discuss ML [1] to make this more neutral.

I'm attaching a patch to fix this.
