Comment 8 for bug 1076489

You seem to mix PHP 5 (as in the interpreter) and php5 meta-package.

It would be nice to at least read the description of the packages you are reporting bugs to:

--cut here--
Description: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage)
 This package is a metapackage that, when installed, guarantees that you
 have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
 installed. Removing this package won't remove PHP5 from your system, however
 it may remove other packages that depend on this one.
--cut here--

There is no bug here, if you want to use php5 without web server feel free to remove php5 meta-package and install php5-cli package.
