Just a quick update, based upon SRU precedence, I don't think this is
likely to occur. Nothing in Trusty itself needs php5-mongodb, it doesn't
exist in Debian (afaict) and the way the packaging works (rather
intentionally afaict), it is explicitly only designed to work with
PHP7+. Finally, there are two further dependencies, libbson and
libmongoc which would also need backporting in order to achieve this and
that adds to the SRU overhead and review(s).

You might consider setting up a PPA for your own use and seeing if you
can get a php5-mongodb built there, but I don't think it will be
straightforward.
