Any progress on this?
It would be good to have the missing modules in gutsy or we need to
decided what we do with packages depending on them. Currently that are:

php5-imap:
  twig
  gosa
  imp4
  phpgroupware (makes the whole phpgroupware suite uninstallable)
  egroupware-felamimail
php5-mcrypt:
  phpmyadmin

Both php5-imap and php5-mcrypt were shipped with feisty (but were older
than the main php5 packages) and are now removed from gutsy.
