Review and preliminary testing indicates this is ready.

One limitation of the proposed solution for Ubuntu is that this assumes a single supported PHP version for a given distro release. This will always hold true for Ubuntu, but not necessarily for Debian. For this reason, while I think this change is good for Ubuntu it may not be for Debian. However, once it's validated for Ubuntu I'm hopeful it can lead to a more generally compatible solution that works for both distros. But this should be good for a Ubuntu-only SRU.
