To be clear, this isn't raphael's work but instead an alternate
implementation?  From reading the script it doesn't look like it
covers the same feature set (per-sapi enabling, basically), though
if we're going to ditch that idea then so be it... though probably
would have been worth a quick discussion/ping imo...

Also, debian/copyright should probably be updated, since canonical has
claimed copyright on the script :)

It looks to me like we're still shipping the conffiles in their
original location (/etc/php5/conf.d), instead of the new location,
so this is actually pretty broken (good thing it's still in experimental :D )

AIUI, you should ship the conffile in the new location when using the dpkg
maintscript helper, which is only for migrating from the old location and
not updating the dpkg package/conffile metadata.
