Certainly not a bug in php5 packaging: Package: php5 [...] Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.1-0ubuntu1) | php5-cgi (>= 5.2.1-0ubuntu1), php5-common (>= 5.2.1-0ubuntu1) [...]
Reason why libapache2-mod-php5 wants to be installed is that it's listed first in phpldap admin dependencies.
As a quick fix install php5 package.
Then dependencies of phpldap admin should be fixed.
