[Ubuntu] php5-mapscript in ubuntugis-unstable?

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Dear Saul,

Thank you for your feedback.
We recently updated most of the packages in UbuntuGIS Unstable to their 
latest versions.

This update included MapServer 7.0.1.
Since MapServer packaging was first done for Ubuntu Xenial, 
mapscript-php support was dropped due to this issue:
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5252

Then we forgot to turn mapscript-php support back on for Trusty, since 
PHP5 is still available there.

The libgdal1h package you refer to, is the upstream version provided by 
Ubuntu.
UbuntuGIS now has GDAL 2.1.0 (libgdal20).

We will re-enable mapscript-php support soon.

Best,
Angelos
