So don't.

  Package: php5
  Depends: libapache2-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.0-7) | libapache-mod-php5 (>= 5.2.0-7) | php5-cgi (>= 5.2.0-7), php5-common (>= 5.2.0-7)

No, libapache2-mod-php4 and libapache2-mod-php5 depend on
apache*2.2*-common, and there is no such package as libapache2-mod-php.

No, you don't.
