Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I have reproduced this in Precise. Note that I had to install devscripts
to make your reproduction steps work. But I can't reproduce this in
Raring.
However, I can successfully build php5 in Precise using sbuild (with
--resolve-alternatives). Presumably the buildds can build it too. So I'm
not sure that this is a bug.
It does seem wrong to me that debian/rules says:
$(SHELL) debian/setup-mysql.sh $(MYSQL_PORT) $(MYSQL_DATA_DIR)
but debian/setup-mysql.sh has a shebang of #!/bin/sh. So what if the user's
shell is bash? This is the case in Raring (5.4.9-4ubuntu2) too.
Setting Importance to Medium as a workaround (sbuild) is available. I'm
still not sure whether this is a valid bug though, since I'm not sure
what the expectations are for the buildability of packages outside of
buildds.
** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
