It's been a while since I've been working with MSSQL, which is why I'm only just revisiting this bug.

The Sybase (DBLIB) drivers do not provide all the functionality needed when using a Microsoft SQL Server DB. For example, using this driver with PDO reports that transactions and stored procedures are not supported.

Providing a php5-mssql package that is really a virtual package linked to php5-sybase is not adequate: we need a real php5-mssql package with true Microsoft SQL server support, not basic compatibility using the DBLIB.
