Chris,

I don't know if the Debian-Sources have anything special, but in the
official source distribution of PHP4.0.6, the configure option for the
dbase module is --enable-dbase and it does show up in the output of
./configure --help.

Note that with PHP3, the option used to be --with-dbase ... and I have
no clue why it has changed.
