There are (at least) 2 version of sqlite that work with MT 3.2. sqlite (known as sqlite2 in debian) and sqlite3.
The problem is, only sqlite3 will come up as SQLite to perl on debian. sqlite (sqlite2) on Debian is stored under SQLite2. So what's the problem you say. php only works with sqlite (sqlite2).
When combined w/ php5 requirement of ezsql_sqlite (see bug I posted below). One basically has an environment that will not work on many released linux distributions.
