I have removed php5 metapackage and this allowed me to complete apt-get
dist-upgrade without installing apache and retaining the other php5-
packages.
Ondrej - bearing in mind I removed php5:

Description: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package)
This package is a meta-package that, when installed, guarantees that you
have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
installed. Removing this package won't remove PHP5 from your system, however
it may remove other packages that depend on this one.
.
PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
generated pages quickly.

So by removing and then re-installing PHP5, the problem now doesn't
appear. Very odd.

PHP5 now depends on libapache2-mod-php5 even if lighttpd installed
