I'll have to look into this, I know next to nothing about PEAR at this point. 
My gut feeling is that they could still be whitelisted without ill effect; 
perhaps they could just not be installed at all.

I agree this looks odd, but it seems it's how it ends up with libdir set in 
order to make the extensions directory be more sensible than the default 
/usr/lib/extensions (which is a worse alternative than the current state IMO). 
I couldn't immediately see how to fix this when I looked at it earlier.

Cheers,
Paul
