A complete merge of 5.2.6 would constitute a backport, as the version
has been bumped and new features have been added in addition to
security fixes.

Regarding SRU, see this comment:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/227464/comments/8

I painstakingly collected url's to each of the PHP commit messages of
every security fix committed to PHP 5.2.6.  We're going to work on
applying each of those patches to PHP and proposing an SRU.  It's just
taking some time to get around to it ;-)  If someone else can prepare
a debdiff and attach to this bug, I'll be happy to review it.
