There are no PHP5 options officially provided in the repositories in
16.04, in main or universe. The issue becomes, if we have PHP5
officially in universe, whether end-users read the policies or not, it
will appear to be supported (particularly for security fixes), except it
won't be. We are slightly ahead of Debian in this migration, but they
are going down the same path in parallel.

For PHP5, end-users should stay on Trusty (or run it in a
container/VM/etc).
