Seem so :-) As far as Debian proper is concerned there is definitely no PHP5 requirement. Packages are tested against PHP from the same suite (so PHP7.4 for Bullseye LTS). Mix-and-match is at one's own risk. Also, if you used an EOL'ed PHP5 from Debian Jessie, beware it has known security issues (many of the PHP7.4 vulnerabilities [0] affect PHP5 too) so your system may or may not be compromised :-/ -- Guilhem.
