[Bug 693303] Re: please backport php 5.3.3/5.3.4 to lucid

[Micah Gersten]

In order to properly test a backport for PHP in Lucid, all of the
reverse dependencies (install/run test http://paste.ubuntu.com/930490/)
and build dependencies (build/install/run test
http://paste.ubuntu.com/930491/) would need to be tested (which is over
100 last time I checked) and I haven't seen anyone willing to do that
work yet.  With the new PHP release process
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/releaseprocess), backports and SRUs become
more of an option as they're less likely to introduce breakage, but the
full testing would still be required at least for backports.
