[php-maint] Apache dependency for php5

[Ondřej Surý]

http://packages.debian.org/sid/php5

There's no apache2 dependency here.

Could you paste your output of apt-cache show php5?

Why is this so ? In my opinion, we shouldn't make the choice of the web server for our users. We should leave it up to them.
