Eric, could you do:

# dpkg --force-depends --purge libapache2-mod-php5

and then reinstall it using apt-get

# apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

I think that you just removed libapache2-mod-php5 in the past, then removed
conf files from /etc/apache2/mods-available/ (this is place where php5.load
and php5.conf gets installed).  If you only 'remove' package without purging
conf files stays in place and if you manually removed them they won't get
reinstalled.

I think that this problem is just your local setup and package is not broken.

Ondrej.
