1. Do a clean Edgy install (I used ubuntu server, but whatever rocks
   your boat..)
2. Install libapache2-mod-php5 (pulls in apache as well)
3. stop apache (*very* important step as it turns out)
4. sed -i -e s/edgy/feisty/ /etc/apt/sources.list
5. apt-get update ; apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

The problem is:
* php5 gets installed
* apache2 upgrade fails, because prerm tries to stop it (failing because
  it's already stopped)
* Any subsequent attempts at doing anything with Apache fails, because
  php5 has been upgraded breaking API compatibility with apache2 (2.0)).
