[ubuntu-uk] Issues with APT installing dependencies?

Hi all,

Since I've upgraded to Gutsy, I've noticed an interesting change in
behaviour with apt.

If I run 

apt-get install php5-mysql

it doesn't install everything that's required (such as
apache2/modphp/mysql-server etc), just a very basic set of dependencies.

PHPGroupWare is another good example of this, it only installed the web
interface.  Once I had logged in, all I had was the "admin" screen - no
email, nothing.

Is this just me, or is it a "feature" of apt these days?

Cheers,

M.
