[Bug 1267255] Re: [MIR] php5 (php5-fpm binary)

[Neal Gompa]

So, I'd like to chime in here a bit.

As Ondřej mentioned earlier, php-fpm is known to be a more secure
alternative to mod_php, and is recommended for secure setups. I recently
contributed a decent default configuration for php-fpm for PHP 7.0, and
I would support flipping libapache2-mod-php7.0 to universe and keep
php7.0-fpm in main.

Critically, php-fpm can be used with any web server that supports
FastCGI, whereas mod_php is Apache httpd specific. There is, of course,
php-cgi, but it isn't recommended either, and I would suggest that it
should be in universe as well.

I don't pretend to know the difficulty of maintaining the PHP stack, but
I think that perhaps moving these two particular methods of using PHP
from main to universe in exchange for php-fpm should be considered.
