Right now, I've nothing more working beyond the patches in
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-owncloud/owncloud.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=HEAD

It's built-in at the moment, so Depends: php5 should cover it.

php5 "is a metapackage that, when installed, guarantees that you have
at least one of the three server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
installed."

Thanks.  I'm still seeing only 4.5.1-1 on the repository.  Anyone know
how long OBS takes to build new versions?

That tells me files are there (a bullet list - I guess it's in
debian.tar.gz) but still not how to clone it for patching.  If we just
posted an updated debian*tar.gz or debian*diff.gz file, would that help?
