PEAR packages are prefixed by php-.

Marking this as an extension prohibits automatic installation and
building from PECL. If the package name in Debian makes it a PHP
extension, then Debian is wrong. If this happens with *all* PECL
packages, it's even worse.

converter failed to properly translate the following snipset to proper
debian name:
<package>
<name>memcache</name>
<channel>pecl.php.net</channel>
</package>
It should be translated as php5-memcache because it is an extension
but translates to php-memcache as a PEAR package.
I don't say that current package.xml is incorrect, but the behavior is
the same (AFAIK) after the patch and it works for Debian.
