Try dpkg --purge php-5.2.1 or so. You may have only the php binaries (CLI) removed. This removes the config-scripts at all. Apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5 removes your apache2 modules and the dpkt --purge libapache2-mod-php5 removes all the config scripts of them. I have build php 5.2.1 from source on Ubuntu 6.10 and it works fine. Installad in /usr/local for some system reasons and of course a easy way to upgrade.
