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.
