If I see it correctly, none of Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, CentOS, Fedora currently offer more than one version of PHP. The majority of the stable/lts distributions is currently on 5.3.x. Getting packages for different versions and the ability to run them in parallel might also give a push in testing alphas.
