There seem to be two different ways of installing modphp:

  $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php
or
  $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.2

libapache2-mod-php is a virtual package that depends on the appropriate
libapache2-mod-phpN.M for that Ubuntu release; presumably if one had
installed libapache2-mod-php the upgrade should work seamlessly.
However, if one rather installed libapache2-mod-php7.2, then I think
this is where the bug presents itself.

Furthermore, there's multiple ways of upgrading to a new modphp:

  1. Running `do-release-upgrade -d`
  2. Editing /etc/apt/sources.list from bionic -> focal (or focal -> jammy, or 
impish -> jammy)
  3. Upgrading just modphp itself via a PPA

Way #1 is presumably how most users would be experiencing this, so the
main one needing fixed, but it's also the most time-intensive to test.
#2 is easier to test and still conceivably used by some experienced
users, so is worth getting right.  #3 is easiest to test but pretty
artificial (though php users are accustomed to upgrading php via
ondrej's ppa).

We see that in each of these cases, libapache2-mod-php7.2 might be left
in place, or removed as cleanup.
