Really?

What sources have you got configured for packages? Are they all "stable"?
If so, add some "testing" sources in, and see if PHP5 is available for
install.

Debian is notorious for including fairly old versions of packages in its
"stable" branch. The "testing" branch has a lot more polish and stability
than its name gives it credit for, and is perfectly suitable for a
production server.

Try:
apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
