As it's written in PHP, "abominable-intelligence"? :þ

I'd recommend calling the source package php-ai too.

If I were a PHP developer, I would find it very surprising[1] that a
package called 'php-ai' contains a small, French-only MySQL helper
library with a misguided description.

I have a strong feeling that this package is not yet fit for upload in
Debian, though an actual call about this should probably come from the
PHP maintainer community, not from me.

I'm trying to move this discussion back to debian-devel, since it was
becoming too on-topic for debian-curiosa

[1] honestly, I would feel trolled
