+1 Please fill the bugs or at least show the exact problem which you have
encountered. And as usual you would be most welcome to come and help with
(at least) PHP testing, triaging, etc., etc.
We would love to have more testing during the freeze and some has happened,
but you cannot expect us to create all possible scenarios. However we could
still fix the bugs related to upgrade in .point releases. (In fact there's
already updated php5 waiting in the s-p-u).
Always please remember that some of us gets paid to do the packaging, some
of us gets some time to spend on Debian (but it's not my primary job), and
some of us are volunteers which spends our evenings, nights and weekends
taking care of the packages.

Is there a bug report for this issue you are talking about?

There might be a plenty of reasons. Maybe the issue isn't so simple, maybe
the maintainer have a life, job, etc., or maybe nobody has reported the
bug...?
