It does not have to be so.
If you install a metapackage (php5¹) you can choose what package
dependency suits better to your needs (in this case: "libapache2-mod-
php5", "libapache2-mod-php5filter" or "php5-cgi"). It seems that you
chose "libapache2-mod-php5" which pulled the other dependencies.
For lighttpd maybe "php5-cgi" was a better election.
