PHP 5.4 woes on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

So I was having an issue on a VPS I rent that it was on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. They seem to have a different idea of what LTS means then what seems reasonable. Having your packages available for 5 years isn't something I'm waiting for, I can also still get Debian Buzz with no issues so that's not an argument. What I want is -support- for -updates- on an -existing- platform. Luckily, I don't have to travel far to the Ubuntu team to slap some sense in them because luckily people run their own PPA's that do compile software for existing OS installs.

However, I kept running into an issue that most posts and gists kept referring to PPA's that no longer supported Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid by now... Found a few PPA's but they named their packages like php54 and libapache2-mod-php54 which causes Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid with Plesk installed to throw you a giant headache cause it wants to remove Plesk specific packages (cause it's only compatible with libapache2-mod-php5 and php5)

// So ImageMagic is pretty cool, -but- it can sometimes consider a TIFF
// to be "metadata" that should be part of your thumbnailed JPG.

$Thumb = new \Imagick();
$Thumb->setResolution(72,72);                             // set the DPI of $Thumb to 72dpi, it's the WEB!
$data = file_get_contents('/data/some_image.jpg');        // secretly a TIFF pretending to be a JPG
                                                          // else make $data be something that came from curl_exec
$Thumb->readImageBlob($data);
$Thumb->setCompressionQuality(80);                        // you know, why have a 100compression quality thumbnail?
$Thumb->resampleImage(72,72,imagick::FILTER_UNDEFINED,1); // VERY IMPORTANT, without this it'll just "set" the DPI

# Xorg.conf config for dummy video driver
# For usage with for example TeamViewer on a machine without a monitor attached
# and you wanted more then just 1024x768 ;)
#
# Use at own risk, loosly based on info scattered around but these links really helped
# http://arachnoid.com/modelines/ for the modelines (lot of trial and error to figure out which worked over Teamviewer and Xorg)
# https://www.xpra.org/xorg.conf sample config from xpra who seems to use the dummy driver a lot (thanks guys!)
