Comment 9 for bug 541438

Whoops! Just read 4,5,6.
Let me correct myself,
replicated using:
apt-get install php5-mhash
apt-get remove php5-mhash
//all thats left now are the package's configs//
apt-get purge php5-mhash
//config files still left, purged php5-common//

In 6 juliank said a fix was comitted for debian, couldn't that fix be alsu used for ubuntu/
also, thats another reason to confirm :-)
