That would be me. I also produced the security update.

Sid should include 4.7.2 shortly, which should propogate to etch in time for the release, and I intend to remove the 2.5 packages as soon as possible.
I'm personally of the opinion that php apps shouldn't generally be packaged by distros because of the upgrade issues and the fact that it isn't really a compiled binary aka not dependent on the rest of the distributions libraries. But splitting the packages by version and letting the distro's users deal with the upgrade path seems like a good idea.
One of the advantages of packaging WebApps by distributions is the security support that is provided with it. There are additional problems associated with WebApps, and I'm a co-author on the Debian WebApps Policy draft[0] and gave a BoF[1] at DebConf[2] about it.
