It's possible to use php with lighttpd and nginx. And it's also possible
to use php with apache in two different ways: as apache module with
apache-mod_php package, or as cgi with php-cgi.
So I think mediawiki package should not decide how php is installed. But
there could be a separate package like mediawiki-apache doing the setup
for apache. Maybe there could be a policy about this for php applications ?
