Php 5.3

zul and ajmitch have been looking at getting php 5.3 in karmic. 5.3 has
been uploaded to experimental to get more testing there. The big
difference with the current version in karmic (5.2) is that the suhosin
patch has not been ported to 5.3 yet. The security team doesn't feel
comfortable with shipping php without the suhosin patch enabled.

It was decided to push 5.3 into a PPA to get wider testing from the
Ubuntu community. Once the suhosin patch is ported to 5.3 and enabled in
the build 5.3 can be uploaded to karmic.

An ubuntu-php-team should also be created to handle the maintenance of
the php PPA. There have also been some requests for backported versions
of php. A PPA and -backports are options to handle this use case.
