Thanks everyone for the discussion so far, I'm trying to add a few
details and fill a few argumentative gaps.

First let me re-share the simple scenario which I used to illustrate/prove the 
issues.
Then in another comment below I'll outline a few affects of this overall case.

Example:

On bionic install it "wrong" not using the meta package
$ apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.2
$ do-release-upgrade

Before:
# dpkg -l | grep -e apache -e php
ii  apache2                        2.4.29-1ubuntu4.23                  amd64    
    Apache HTTP Server
ii  apache2-bin                    2.4.29-1ubuntu4.23                  amd64    
    Apache HTTP Server (modules and other binary files)
ii  apache2-data                   2.4.29-1ubuntu4.23                  all      
    Apache HTTP Server (common files)
ii  apache2-utils                  2.4.29-1ubuntu4.23                  amd64    
    Apache HTTP Server (utility programs for web servers)
ii  libapache2-mod-php7.2          7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module)
ii  php-common                     1:60ubuntu1                         all      
    Common files for PHP packages
ii  php7.2-cli                     7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    command-line interpreter for the PHP scripting language
ii  php7.2-common                  7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    documentation, examples and common module for PHP
ii  php7.2-json                    7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    JSON module for PHP
ii  php7.2-opcache                 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    Zend OpCache module for PHP
ii  php7.2-readline                7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.11            amd64    
    readline module for PHP

After:
# dpkg -l | grep -e apache -e php
ii  apache2                        2.4.41-4ubuntu3.11                 amd64     
   Apache HTTP Server
ii  apache2-bin                    2.4.41-4ubuntu3.11                 amd64     
   Apache HTTP Server (modules and other binary files)
ii  apache2-data                   2.4.41-4ubuntu3.11                 all       
   Apache HTTP Server (common files)
ii  apache2-utils                  2.4.41-4ubuntu3.11                 amd64     
   Apache HTTP Server (utility programs for web servers)
ii  php-common                     2:75                               all       
   Common files for PHP packages

There are other variations of the bug, but they all end in a similar
situation like this.

And with that situation PHP execution is essentially "off"
