Gutsy is still missing quite a few. (In particular, I need php5-sockets, and php5-gmp).

I think this is really important, especially because if I have to compile PHP myself, I miss out on one of the major advantages of a binary distro: prompt security updates, and not having to follow all the security news.

Is there any reason why Ubuntu only ships 1/2 of PHP? The packages are already separated (so there's no bloat), and there's no difficulty in compiling these extensions. Anything I can do to help?
