libphp5-5.2.0 plays two roles:

1. the php executable links against it
2. it is also the apache PHP module -- httpd.conf will include a directive
such as

LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so

(without this, there is no PHP in Apache).

I don't believe it can be Project Private, since it exports interfaces for 
Apache's consumption. I believe Uncommitted is a much more accurate 
classification.
